Mixing different velocities ok?

[Touses]

yep, I've heard mixed comments too, some say no don't mix, others say, yes it's ok............but all seem to say don't mix synthetic and non-synthetic

Is this yet another helpful post? @the evil twin someone has kidnapped Clunk again. For fcuks sake don't pay the ransom this time!

I would doubt it would affect anything. When you do an oil change there is most likely a fair amount of old oil that is coating everything that doesn't drain unless you give it a flush and I doubt that would make much difference.

Agree. All oils are a blend anyway so a small amount of a different oil should not make any difference

I wouldn't worry too much AB ... in only 300 k's, all the oil in a 4.2D is black as black - with unburnt carbon and soot, and this shows that it will be completely mixed together.

It is supposed to be changed every 5000 K's anyway.

Know stuff all about oil but my motto has always been "if in doubt, throw it out"

i've been running my lawn mower on a mix of 10-30 and 15-40 for years ....

so long as they are both diesel oils should be fine wouldn't mix a petrol and diesel oil my self

Thanks for your help everyone, mixed answers which is interesting...It's the least of my worries at the moment so will cross this bridge in a couple of weeks hopefully.
