Does anyone mix their own oil say a 5w20 platinum with a quart or two of 5w30 platinum? Or say a dino 5w20 with a dino 5w30 of the same brand to maybe get a little higher viscosity but not quite a 5w30?
I saw today one of the guys here owns a 2004 ford truck with the 4.6 v8 and he intentionally mixes 5w20 and 5w30 Quaker State synthetic ud.. the engine calls for a 5w20 but he mixes in 2 quarts of quaker state ud 5w30 the engine has about 60,000 miles on it..
He has been rebuilding engine for over 25 years and he knows his stuff when it comes to engines..
