so i went to the local pepboys to get some oil for a oil change. Picked up 5 qt's of royal purple
well turns out somone dident put them on the shelf right and i assumed it was right and got 3 qts of 10w-30 and 2 qts of 10w-20 . well guess which 2 i put in first ....


so my question should i drain it and buy the rest of the correct oil or mix it and say screw it?

i dont really know all the specifics so sorry if it seem like a no brainier.

 

i wouldnt mix differnt oils

 

Drain 20 dollars for more oil is better then 6k. For a new motor

 

thanks brb going to steal neighbor car for pep boys run

 

Yeah what they said. And run 5w30. No need for anything thicker.

 

im good now i meant to say 5w30 now my johndeer runs royal purple 5w-20 ><

 

drain it dude
to be safe

 

lol go back to pep boys an demand a refund for there carelessness haha! people do it to home depot all the time

 

Well, if you just added the two 20's so far, I'd drain them and go get two 30's. If you've already mixed all of them, then you could either run it, drain it all, or drain part of it and top it off with 30's. I really doubt the mix would hurt anything, but it would probably bug me. I would probably take the route of draining a couple quarts worth and adding a couple quarts of 30 weight. In the future you might consider just going to Walmart and getting a 5 quart jug in a different brand. You'll save yourself some money, not have to worry about getting all of the same bottles, and have an empty jug to put the old oil in next time you change it.

 

two quarts of 5-20 will not harm your motor.

 

if you got a 2.0 you need 6.0 quarts bro. look it up in the manual under capacities

 

As long as it is the same brand and make of oil, you can mix the weights and it won't hurt anything. Mixing a 5w20 and 5w30 will just give you the equivalent of a 5w~25 oil.

 

depends which one.

 

Not their fault a customer could have moved it..... why can't people ever man up to their won mistakes, OP did.

 

i had a 2.2 went back and just swapped out the ones i dident use and had a real expensive oil flush lol
