    Mixing oils

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I noticed my oil was kinda low so my shop gave me a bottle of wolf’s head 100% synthetic 5w-30 oil. Is it cool to mix in with the oil I currently have? I normally get my oil changes at the dealer so w.e the use is currently in the engine.

    I combined leftover Motul & Liqui Moly into one jug & have used it to top off my oil without any issues.
