mixing oil.
this is prolly a dumb question but would it hurt to mix oils? i used penzoil bout two months ago. now its two quarts low due to a leak i believe i have fixed. my question is does it matter what kinda oil i use to top it off?

Re: mixing oil.
Some oils may not be compatible with each other. If you HAVE to mix them, make sure they are the same weight.
You really shouldn't, though. --- Oh, what's more stupid, is letting your oil get 2 quarts low. Do something before you destroy your engine.

Re: mixing oil.
if it is two quarts low why not just do complete oil change since you lost half your oil. then you wouldn't have to worry about mixing

Re: mixing oil.
different weights isnt much of a deal, unless they are like way totally different. now oils have their own composition so i highly suggest not mixing different brands and definitely not mixing between conventional, synthetic blend, and/or full synthetic. keep it within its respective catagory and brand.
how long has it been since you changed the oil?
