Q
is it bad to 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 engine oils, especially of different viscosities or types (synthetic vs. mineral), isn't generally recommended but not always disastrous. Oils designed to meet specific engine requirements, when mixed, can dilute or alter the intended benefits, such as wear protection, temperature stability, and sludge prevention. In emergency situations, mixing similar types (e.g., two synthetics) can be a temporary solution, but it's crucial to replace mixed oil with the correct type as soon as possible. Manufacturers formulate engine oils to work optimally within specific parameters; mixing can compromise these parameters, potentially leading to reduced engine efficiency or, over time, damage. Always consult your vehicle's manual or a professional for advice tailored to your specific engine.
