A3/B4 and C3 oils

mixing a C3 with A3/B4 will thin out the additive package - other than that there's no reason why you couldn't. Oils nowadays are mixable.
Thank you.
myself I have mixed 95% C3 oil with 5% HDEO (Delvac MX15W40) to bring up the additive levels a notch.
No side effects during that OCI.
Think of it like this: You go on a trip, have top stop for gas and then you see your oil level is low. But the choice is limited at the rural gas station. Mixing whatever they have is better than risking a oil level too low.

then a3/b4 is best, dont waste time with c.
it gives no benefits to you.
well he hasnt told us what he is planning .... maybe he has a leftover quart of C3 oil and wants to use it?
That's exactly why I asked this. I have a liter of C3 oil that's left from my other car oil change.
Not a problem, a SN & C3 oil is easy to find and a good top up oil.
