That was the reasoning for the question, I just didn't want to compromise the oils quality by being stored around household cleaners etc. Some of that stuff is nasty and I had heard of volatiles being able to seep through plastic, not the liquid but the vapors.

I was wondering if contamination of new oil in a sealed original container can be contaminated by storing the oil near your regular household cleaners? I store my oil in the house on a shelf above where my wife stores her cleaning products, any thoughts? Thanks.

Interesting, I hadn't seen that before, I guess dino is fine by itself, thanks!

Most synthetics handle high temps better than conventional oils so the thought was if I get stuck in stop and go traffic and it's 95 degress out maybe the oil would hold up better if using a blend.

The reasoning for the blend is I thought using the synthetic and dino in a 50/50 blend would give it a little better high temp rating and not cost a whole lot more.

What would everyone think of mixing valvoline vr1 synthetic with valvoline vr1 dino in a 50/50 blend, the analysis from the company are pretty much identical, same zinc/phos, tbn, calcium etc. Doing this would save a couple bucks if you have more than one bike, what do you think?

It's how the manufacturer makes the different weight, using the same oil of different weight ranges 5/30 10/40 etc they can blend it into any grade. The oil I want to run isn't offered in a 15/50 but it is in 20/50, 15/40, 10/30, 5/30 and 0/30, I just don't know what combinations of these grades...

Basically what I want is to know if you use 20/50 oilfrom one company can you blend the oil weight down to a 15/50 using a combination of their 0/30 5/30-10/30-10/40- 15/40, it would be the same oil just the different weights to make a 20/50 out of this oil, they don't offer it in a 15/50 so I...

I'm new to the forum so bare with me, I never saw so much great info as on this forum! I was wondering if it is possible to blend a 15w/50 by using a combination of 5/10 or whatever grade with 20/50 oil, basically I want A 15/50 but can't find it in the brand I like, is it possible, thank you.
