Hey guys,
I picked up a bunch of Idemitsu 0W-20 from Advance Auto on clearance. I have always understood that mixing oils of different weights will net the average viscosity of the oils used in the mix. With that said, I recently changed the oil in my truck (2005 Chevy 5.3L) and beater car (2000 Honda Accord 2.3L) with a 50/50 mix of Idemitsu 0W-20 and 10W-40 (various brands used). Will be changed at the standard OCI or in the case of the Honda, probably earlier. Curious what you guys think of this.
Thanks
Travis
