actually mixing different fluids is common and some manuals reference the compatible oil with which you can mix the referenced oil. It is a practice that’s not been utilized correctly and sufficiently. You can call that innovation.

Thanks for the detailed and helpful response. Aren’t both fluids made from similar base oils? Wouldn’t they form a homogeneous mixture? I’m specifically referring to Motul DCT (~7.3 cSt @ 100 °C) and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum (~8.8 cSt @ 100 °C). While their viscosities differ slightly, the impact...

My car has a dual clutch with three seperate “unmixed” sumps for transmission clutch oil (takes motul dct fluid), transmission gears and differentials (also motul dctf) and hydraulic actuators (take Fuchs chf 202 which is formerly known as pentosen chf 202) I want to top up the transmission...

How can they pull off the 32,000 km drain interval without PAO, most if not all group 3 are not capable of doing that without high PAO / ESTERS blended into the formula

Can’t go wrong with German strict regulations imposed on manufacturers on how they market their oils. Unless it’s group 4 and 5, they can’t market them as fully synthetic. the oils over there, nevertheless, are extra expensive and not necessarily high in PAO.

Extended drain oils are not by default high in PAO, but how can they even pull off the extended drain without being high in PAO?

How much PAO approximately it does have? Does the fact that it is a high mileage oil make it a high PAO content? What is the difference between this and castrol edge gold bottle? It looks darker than other oil similar to the darkness found in Amsoil Signature which is (100% API Group 4 and 5).
