i mixed 7 oils together

[Bulli]

I am using what i have left and hopefully it will be ok.

i used
1.5 qt of 10-30 supertech synthetic
.2qt of 5-30 ASL amsoil synthetic
.5 qt of 5-20 M1 synthetic
1qt of pennzoil 5-30
1 almost full Stp oil treatment
12 oz of MMO

will having all these oil mixed together kill my engine ?

 

[csandste]

Hopefully.

 

[Bulli]

forgot .5qt of pennzoil 10-40

 

[Barkleymut]

What type of car and engine and what is the capacity?

 

[Bulli]

95 honda accord 4.5 quarts to the max line.
car is currently on Pennzoil 10-40
Has a knock so thicker oil is better.

or sawdust LOL sorry just kidding

 

[Mau]

id love to see a uoa of what you have created

its a honda it will take it

 

[sunfire]

You can always use it as a engine rinse cycle. Just do a short OCI.

 

[ericthepig]

Don't worry. MMO will save the day.

 

[Bulli]

how long should i keep it in there for?
I usually drive 99 % in the city, sometimes i redline it once or twice a day.
ill get the cheapest filter for this run also , supertech is like 280 at WM.
i do about 6 miles a day so the miles stack up very slowly and i love changing oil so i don't mind.

Valvoline 10-30 will be the next oil choice if i still will keep this car ! : ]

 

[Barkleymut]

i wouldn't leave it in there very long. Not with the STP and that much MMO at the same time. Maybe 1000 or 1500 miles?

Well leave it as long as you want, you are gambling to begin with so see how your luck holds out.

If ANY damage is caused by the mix it might be months or years before you see it.

That has to be the nastiest stuff ever mixed up on BITOG, It'll probably be ok though. You should do a UOA on it.

 

[Bulli]

i thought mixing oils was fine?
darn haha well at least this is the nastiest thing some of you guys seen.
Can the mixing cause bibles and cause the oil to foam up easier?

i think i will do a 1k run with this oil.

 

[Barkleymut]

I really doubt it will cause BIBLES. he he he. Mixing oils is fine, but STP is not an oil. MMO is not an oil. STP has never gotten good reviews here.

Remember a good conventional oil by itself has gotten plenty of cars well over 200,000 miles.

Using up what was left of your oil stash, should be fine for a short OCI "rinse" run. Any freeway/highway trips in the near future? Might want to switch it out after that kind of driving.

Are we going to see an oil analysis?

 

[321]

If I had to guess bubbles(foaming) would be the issue, caused by the additives not mixing well and canceling each other out.
(purely speculation) A oil analyst would only confirm a OK mix or servere engine wear at which point it would be to late to matter.
You might add 20K milage of wear in a 1K run or be OK and saved a few dollars.

i have 2k more miles to go before i put this oil in my car.
and no there wont be a UOA on this miexed oil becasue as you can see im to lazy just to get a new 5 qt jug of oil and i want to save money.

i also plan to sefoam the car when i will be switching out the Pennzoil 10-40. i heard it kills your oil so thats why im waiting to the 3k mile mark.

So then i will also adjust my loud valves, clean my valve cover, and then do a short run with this mixed oil. Not changing the filter that was on the 3k oil run. Its a fram tough guard.

then i will rinse the engine with my special mixed oils . lets make it 500-1000 miles depending how the car seems to behave or if it will be knocking, then i will have to go back to 10-40.

does this sound good?

I know all this mixing oil makes me sound like a bad guy but i am actually crazy about oil.

Its just that this car is a temporary car to say at least and i should be getting rid of it this summer/fall.

I run Strictly M1 in my 07 civic and amsoil in my 95 civic(m1 before that and dino pennsoil when new) and strictly castrol high milage in my cavalier.( castrol all its life)

Bruce's comment on sawdust is outstanding!! That used to work wonders in misbehaving powerglides. The only one I saw better than that was the leather belt for main bearings in a Duster's 6 cylinder!!
