2012 Honda Accord ex-l 2.4 L

[monel777]

I have 2012 Honda Accord Ex-L 2.4L that has O'Reilly bulk synthetic mother oil in it, about 2K miles since oil change, it's leaking a small amount of oil needs some gaskets changed, will do at next oil change, but question is this, is it ok to mix O'Reilly's bulk oil with Mobil 1 synthetic or do I need to get O'Reilly's brand synthetic motor oil, same viscosity.

Another thing, what 'oil' is O'Reilly's bulk synthetic oil?

Thanks!

It is ok to mix different brands of oil

You should also consider using High Mileage oil from now on, even after replacing the gaskets.

Ok to mix but it's said to not make it an every change habit. I know Omni Specialty Packaging does some of their oil.

Yes, it's often called a Frankenbrew on this forum.

Well, decided to have all leaking gaskets changed do new oil change and go from there, thanks everyone! How about this, is it ok to add STP high mileage oil treatment to new changed motor oil?

Thanks

The Honda 2.4 was a great engine... I wish they still made it....

It won't hurt anything but I would just buy a high mileage oil instead. I'd run a High Mileage 5w30 oil instead of adding the STP.

Save your money and don’t put that snake oil in your engine. It can do more harm than good.

As others have said, skip the STP. It is another example of marketing hard at work to separate you from your money. Likely no harm, but also no benefit. Use a quality full synthetic from one of the major brands you can buy at Walmart and you’re good.

I have a 2006 Accord with a K24. 290k miles and running great with no additives over its entire life.
