I found a nice deal on Havoline Deposit Shield, and bought a couple of oil changes in 5w-20, they had plenty more 10w-30 and even more 10w-40 left, all in Havoline Deposit Shield. My 02 Honda Accord calls for 5w-20, I have no problem running 5w-30, however 10w-40 is stretching it some on this deal in my mind.
So my question is, would you mix the 5w-20 with the 10w-30, or just wait until summer then run the 10w-30, running the 5w-20 in the winter ? I have along commute to work, around 40 miles each way with high speed interstate driving. I have run 10w-30 before with no problems, however it does seem the engine my is smoother at colder temps with the 5w-20 compared to 10w-30 (maybe all in my head)... anyway I just wanted to hear some comments before I buy out the rest of the 10w-30, and just for grins what say you about the 10w-40 ?
I have never been one for mixing oils, nothing against it, it just never floated my boat, however in the situation mixing in the exact same brand may not be to bad of a blasphemy
