Have some left overs from different oil changes that I wanted to use up my next oil change. Does anyone see any harm in using these upwards of 7k (maintenance minder will most likely go this far at least). I'm in Western New York and we're in the 50-60's as far as temp.

1 qt Motorcraft Synthetic Blend 5W-20
1/2 qt Amsoil Signature Series 5w30
1 qt Mobil 1 0W-20
1/2 qt Toyota Genuine Synthetic 0W-20
1 qt NAPA Synthetic 5W-20

Will top off/fill rest with Toyota Genuine Synthetic 0W-20. Thanks for your input.
 
I have never mixed weights but I don't think it would hurt. The 1/2 qt. of 5W 30 shouldn't be of concern. The others being 20 W should definitely work together.
 
I asked about a Frankenstein mix in my 03 CRV with the K24 and everyone said it should be fine. I'm about to mix a lot of my old stash; different brands from yours but still a wonderful blend. I'm not expecting any surprises and will keep my fingers crossed for both of us.

Thanks, I'm thinking with the little bit in of 30 weight in there, and it being warmer, that it won't make a lick of difference.

As will I. I'm thinking we'll both be fine. All of my oil is SN so it isn't as if I'm throwing a quart of SJ or SH into the mix. I'm at 40% oil life left on my Maintenance Minder with about 4100 miles on the oil so maybe another 1500 or 2000 miles and I'll be changing.
