I have 5w30 castrol edge in my car ATM. Is it bad if I top it up with 10w50 Valvoline synth power?
Not to sure on the mixing of oil grades. Thanks |

I asked Mobil and they said yes
 http://www.mobiloil.com/usa-english/...entionals.aspx edit: as for grade mixing which is what you actually asked, I would have no problems with it as a once off leading up to your next oil change. Last edited by ronwest; 07-04-2011 at 06:41 PM. |
