tell my how consensus of non oil engineers, allows mixing oil.?
it's not their engine. not their $2000 loss.?
if if they did, and ran ok, what does antidote evidence prove ? Nothing, after all , maybe his oil is 5 years old and different.
Each maker of oil uses their own additive package, and are not compatible in many cases.
not one states that it is , in fact opposite.
why would anyone mix chemistry. with out knowing both engineers by name.?
sure free oil.
it's your car, your engine, and your risk.
most base oils mix great, as does syn
but you don't buy base oils, nor then buy the additives to top the off.
so ......
you can say , mix Chevron oil x with Chevron z oil. they use the same chemistry.
but mixing brands, that is crazy, talk. to me.
why do that?
why not call the maker of that huge tank of oil up and ask them this question, I'd bet you'd be surprised,
the poor guy on the phone has no idea at all what is in the other makers additives, and is a trade secret. so......
since it is a secret , (it is ) then how can "consensus" know or guess.
For sure I don't know , nor do I know of anyone on earth that does.
sorry.
sure in hot climates, for that heavy oil. Rotella 15-40 diesel (straight) I run it in my air cooled VW.
"55 gallons of 5-20."
55 gallons of what, made by whom and how long ago.?
call them. they all have a hot line, some have live online help or even a FAQ.
read the FAQ on "ThaT" MAKERS oil page, or even post a new question.
I'd call them.
Some oils mixed turns to sludge in a heart beat or when not expected ( at a ,magic temperature ! or with some water there. (all gas burns and makes water)
so testing that theory is hard, and very expensive when it fails.
that is why nobody tests that., it costs too much and changes every 6 months as the makers redesign the product. (why go here.??? at all?)
no religion here. just risks. of playing games with oil products.
if you rebuild an engine by hand, just once, you then take oil serious. not gaming it up.
