Oil Question for Ya!

I have 4 quarts of Mobil One Full Synthetic and One Quart of Castrol Full Synthetic, all are 5W-30. Can I mix them? Should I mix them or just go buy another quart of Mobil One?

Pressing on, what about mixing in general, Synthetic with Dino Oil? Etc. Etc.

Hold on to your axis for now, I chickened out.

I found a quart of Mobil One 10W-30 in the garage to mix in with the 4 quarts of Mobil One 5W-30.

So Maybe the world is only wobbling hard but it is still on its axis.:screwy:

I'm going on 65, I've never mixed oil brands, yet I know a few people that have without no apparent trouble. Of course in an emergency I would mix oil brands, but never been there.

In the long run, it's best not to make a habit of mixing brands.
