Oh my!!! and your car didn't blow up? No way!! You mean, you not only put a quart of Mobil 1 0w40 in it, but you mixed it with PP? Are you insane?? This is how black holes get started!! Hokiefyd....best of luck to you for creating an evil monster that will devour the entire universe. LOL!!
I was just glad to see I'm not the only "moron" who does this type of stuff. Instead of making all of your decisions based on fear, why not "come alive" and interact with the world and see what happens. I'm not even talking about oil here, but yet I am. Life to me is so much more interesting when you can make a hypothesis and record some results. Whether they are real results or not....like you dumping in Mobil 1 0w40 in your 0w20 PP. It worked. It should tell you something. It's your DECISION to keep on using that combo or seeing if you can improve it still or perhaps you are scared and decide it's safer to make your car engine sound like a Singer Sewing Machine....
You mean like thinking out of the box? Going against the grain? Be careful, you might start trouble. LOL
