mixing oil???

[rice]

hey guys, i think i mixed 5w-30 with 10w-40, will i be fine?? when i changed my oil for winter i used 5w-30, its been a couple months now and my oil was getting low, so i added 1 quart of 10w-40 because i wasn't sure which one it was before. The oil is from the same brand, same everything except its a little thicker now, will i be fine? thanks

1 qt ? You should be just fine. Done it myself and never had any problems. Bingo

i mixed 5w-30 with 10w-40,

Just think of it this way now you have 7 1/2W- 35W ...I have done that before with no problems ....Radd Guy...

it doesnt hurt anything it just makes the oil a little bit thicker mechanics regurlary will put a uart of 20w 50 into a car that has a bad knock during an oil change

I used to mix 5w and 10w 30 all the time... car still alive.

except that you should understand that weights of oils don't mix like what they're saying above..... the weights of the oils will actually stay seperated...... strangely enough.

My 92 Paseo burns, drips, disappears oil. I refill with whatever I have on hand, being either 10-30 or 10-40.
