Can I mix PP with dino?

[askoop]

I know, seems like a simple question, but it doesnt say on the PP bottle that it is compatible with all oils.

I have one more run of dino on the break in of my re-man engine (Jeep 4.0), then back to synthetic. OCI will be 2K on this run. I have one lonley bottle of PP 10/30 left from a few summers ago. I was planning on using that with 5 quarts of whatever dino I choose (6qt sump).

Any recommendations for a good oil to mix with the PP (if I can mix it?) so far for break in I have done...
300 miles with oil from mechanic, kendall GT-1 blend I think
1,000 miles on valvoline dino
will do 2,000 on whatever goes in next.

YOu can mix it but you will lose the advantage of pp.

I'm currently running a 3.5 quart PP 5W-20 - 2 quart Pennzoil Yellow 5W-30 brew in my 06 Sebring. Makes for a nice blend, my baby seems to purr like a kitten with it. I was just using up a couple of quarts on the shelf, but I might stick with it. 2K into the OCI and all is well.
