Mixing ESP 0W-30 and ESP 0W-20 and do a VOA

[Bighorn2500]

0W-30 is 12, 0W-20 is 7.9, I want something in the middle. ESP 0W-25

Wow, so this mixing thing exists, thank you

Nothing, it's too thick for my needs

What are your needs? And why do your needs preclude the use of KV100=12 Oil?

That oil has a bunch of approvals for fancy Mercedes and Porsche etc, my Jeep doesn't need that much protection. I have a simple low power engine

HPL PPPCMO 0W-30 is exactly 10.00. No mix. No fuss.

And that thing is a fully formulated and tested oil, unlike my mix

Does an affordable 10.0 0W-30 exist?

I would suggest going to the VOA thread and search for 0W-30. Read through each until you find what you're looking for at a price you're willing to pay.

Not again!

Will the mixture work safely in the engine? ESP is great. But I want it to be 10.0 thick, not 12. And I wonder what the VOA of the mix would look like. Please don't tell me you want me to be your guinea pig. I want to know if it is safe before trying.
Thank you

Look, it is like magic:

Sounds like a nice cocktail mixture.

YES. Indeed the exact cocktail I been using in the wife's car. Part 0w20 + part 0w30. That is until I empty my reserves.
I think once I am ready to restock I will swap over to 5w30 going forward.
I am not in the least bit concerned about MAYBE losing 1-2 mpg by going with something other than CAFE's 0w20 they have pushed on everyone the last several years. Really.... What is next? They gonna try to force us all into using some "baby oil?"

So, you think that--

1-"Overprotection" would harm your Jeep?
2-Your mix would protect better?
3-A VOA would confirm #2?

First time I have ever heard a Jeep owner speak those words.

Pentastar ? If so, what is year model ?

I’m the guinea pig. ESP 0W-30 in my Jeep as we speak. Engine is happy and oil is happy. 250f oil temps off road and ESP doesn’t even break a sweat!

I don't understand the idea that the 30 grade would offer too much protection.

Boy we get some wild ones on here.
