    What weight of oil 20 or 30? Rrrrrrr

    Mixing 0W-16 and 0W-40

    If you feel frisky mix away. I believe mixing is ok I only mix like half a quart from my last oil change.I would pick a viscosity that you like 20w or 30w and Google the viscosity calculator so you know how much of each to put in.
