Anyone ever do any crazy blends like this? I wouldn't have, but I'm trying to get rid of some old oil. My car actually has never ran smoother, and I'm happy with how it turned out!
Sound similar to the blends that I do for myself. 2qts syn/3qts dino. The PP & QSUD should be similar although others would argue and the other dino(s) PYB & FS can't be too far off.
Aren't all of the oils that you used, oils from SOPUS?
Yes they are all SOPUS products, I like QS, it's one my favorites. For my next change, I think I'm gonna go with 2qts QSUD 0w20, 2qts FS 5w30, and 1qt PYB 5w30!
I didn't know that this many people made their own blends!
