Yes, you can mix engine oil brands as long as the oils are of the same viscosity and conform to the same API (American Petroleum Institute) service classifications. Most modern engine oils are designed to be compatible with others, meaning you won’t harm your engine by mixing brands. However, mixing different types could slightly dilute the performance and characteristics of the specific additive packages designed for optimal engine performance and protection by each brand. For the best results, stick to one brand and oil type, especially if your vehicle manufacturer recommends a specific oil. In emergency situations or temporary scenarios, mixing brands is acceptable, but aim to return to a consistent oil type at your next oil change to maintain engine health and performance.
Used engine oil should be disposed of at a recycling center, auto supply store, or auto repair shop. Many of these facilities accept used motor oil for recycling. It is important not to pour used engine oil down drains, into the ground, or into waterways, as this can harm the environment. Always consult with local regulations about the correct method to dispose of used engine oil.
Making the engine light go off requires identifying and fixing the problem that triggered the warning in the first place. This may involve some technical understanding about your car. Usual steps are:
1. Diagnose the problem: Using an OBD-II scanner, diagnose the problem. Plug the scanner into the OBD-II port in your car (usually below the steering wheel) and record the error codes.
2. Interpret the codes: Use these error codes to understand the problem. You can search on the internet for the explanation of these codes; often they depict issues with the engine, catalytic converter, or emissions system.
3. Fix the problem: Once you understand the problem, fix the issue. It could be as simple as replacing the gas cap or changing out a spark plug. But sometimes, it involves more complex repairs, in which case, you should take your car to a mechanic.
4. Reset the light: Once the issue is fixed, the Check Engine light should turn off after a few trips. But if it doesn't, you can manually reset it by unplugging the battery for about 30 minutes or by using an OBD-II scanner to clear the codes.
Note: You should never ignore the Check Engine light. If you're unsure about the problem, always take your vehicle to a professional. Merely turning off the light doesn't solve the underlying issue.
