Engine Oil!
Just need some advice on an oil change.

Would 5 litres of 5w - 30 mixed with approx 2 litres 15w - 40 be ok OR could it cause any problems/damage?

Many thanks in advance.

Can I ask why you want to mix your oils?

Oil mixing is ok as long you use same brand and league (in general). i.e. 5W30 and 5W40 both being A3/B4 or A5/B5 with A3/B4 etc. Puma 110" SW
