General Maintenance & Repairs - Oil question (not a normal one)

I keep oil at my house and all the filters to change the oil in any car I own. I run 10 30 in all my cars and in my truck because its a big block I run stright 30w, well here is the question, I accadently put 1 qt. of 30w in my car when I changed the oil so it has 5 qt 10w30 and 1 qt 30w do you think it will be ok?

While I wouldn't reccomend mixing oils, they will both be the same weight when hot, so you should be ok. I just hope that you didn't mix synthetic and non-synthetic.

same brand both non syn. only thing thing different was the wieght. I feel like so stupid. I have never done anything like that before.

Everyone makes mistakes, at least your's isn't THAT bad ;)

I watched some guy pour SAE 40 into his V6 camaro at a gas station once, lol. Told him about it and he flipped. The shit people do...


You should be ok. If you are THAT WORRIED, just change it.

You are allowed to mix synthetics with non synthetics. Where did you ever come up with that answer? What do you think semi-synthetic is?

:werd: Don't worry about it at all.

if that's the only problem you ever have, you're one lucky guy. haha don't worry about it. It'll be fine. You can change it, if it really bothers you though.
