Are these not dino oils beiinge mixed together ?
How do you feel this "mix" performs - better than a direct 10W-30 out of the bottle ?
Are you seeing better cold starts and better fuel economy ?
Yes they are both dino oils form WM I'm mixing. I'm mixing it because it will give me a bit stronger add pack than just using a 10w30 pcmo. It's only $2.50ish a quart. A 10w30 hdeo like Rotella t5 would be best IMO but its $16 a gallon.
I have not paid any attention to economy but the Honda pulls much easier that the 15w40 Delo I was using. The Bobcat turns over about the same. The oil looks good when I change it. No visible flakes or anything.
