Frankenbrew or?

[aquariuscsm]

I have a few half quarts and such laying around. Going to change the oil before we take our Christmas road trip. I have a few half quarts of Quaker State conventional 5W30, Quaker State Synthetic 5w30, Quaker State Synthetic 0W20, and Rotella Gas Truck 0W20. Just enough to make a full oil change.

Or should I buy some fresh 5W30 or 0W20 of the same to make a single viscosity?

Being winter do you really think you may need added protection for Cold starts? LOL me neither!

Our daughter's Civic got a mix of 0W-20 (Edge) and 5w30 (Magnatec) on it's last oil change

We just had this discussion about a week ago . Opinions are all over the map .

As long as you don't include a bottle of unused olive oil from your kitchen in that mix, you should be fine.

Haha I buy the cheap stuff. HEB canola

Use 'em up.

 

[GSCJR]

Use up what you have, but change it when you get back.

Quaker State Ultimate Durability/Quaker State Full Synthetic and RGT are nearly identical. There should not be any issue mixing the 0w-20's.

The 5w30's should also not have any issue

Come on man, you don't need to ask this question.

 

[charbaby]

Use them up and start over.

If it was Magnatec I would say yes..
You sell out...

For a 2012 Honda in Dallas, I'm sure you will be fine. All those products are SOPUS anyway, so probably a very similar add pack.

Recently I did 6,000 miles on a mix of:
Penrite Vantage 10W40 semi-syn,
Valvoline SynPower 0W40 Full Synthetic,
Castrol Magnatec 10W30 semi-syn,
Castrol Edge 10W30 Full Synthetic
and Valvoline DuraBlend 10W40 semi-syn.

Our Odyssey has 5qts of 5w30 and .7qt of 0w20.

I’ve mixed something similar without issues...Quaker State Synthetic and RGT. I’ve read they’re similar anyway.
