Q
can i mix engine oil
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Mixing different types of engine oil is generally not recommended, although it's occasionally necessary in a pinch. Engine oils have varying viscosities, additives, and specifications designed for specific engine types and operating conditions. Mixing them can dilute or alter these properties, potentially leading to reduced lubrication performance, increased wear, and engine damage over time. However, if you must mix, ensure the oils are of the same type (synthetic with synthetic, conventional with conventional) and meet the API service and viscosity requirements of your vehicle. Short-term, this shouldn't cause immediate issues, but it's preferable to use the same oil for top-ups and changes in the long run. Always consult your vehicle's manual or a professional mechanic for advice tailored to your specific situation.
