Oil viscosity changes upon mixing

[Ethan]

When mixing 2.5 quarts of Mobil 1 MX4T motorcycle oil along with 1 quart of V Twin, what will the viscosity be in cSt@100C? The mean value of those should be [(2.5*13.8)+(17.7)]/3.5 = ~14.91 cSt@100C, correct?

Thanks,

Ethan

Ethan....it's funny that you mention mixing these two oils because I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

RR,

According to the calculator in the link above and Mobil's published numbers, the oil won't be horribly thick.
