Absolutely, no problem.

It will be your own synthetic blend. Synthetic blends can also be purchased at auto parts stores.

I'm almost positive someone will come along and tell you that you shouldn't do it...they are wrong.

No Amsoil ????

Would you mixed them all together and put in bike??

I would not mix them all together. Can you...probably. Is it going to cause issues...probably not; however, I would not do it as I'm not that concerned with tossing 5-10 dollars worth of old oil in the recycle bin and starting out with the same brand for the oil change. Like everything else on these forums, your bike and your choice but I would stick with one brand.

You may just find that your custom blend to give your ride the smoothest running and best shifting oil you have ever used. Me, and I've mentioned it here in the past, really like my custom 50/50 blend of two quarts each Valvoline MC specific 10w-40 synthetic and non. Go for it and let us know what you think.

Different companies use different additives to boost their oil performance. I've been told that not all additives are compatible. I don't think your engine will blow up but why take a risk for the sake of a few dollars.

 

[JJ Dunnit]

Don't do it, your head will explode from all the negative ionic reactions.

 

[Racer57]

Check the spec on the two syn and they are probably the exact same.

Unless your oil changes have used the exact oil that came with your Wing, you've already mixed oils.

No Amsoil ????

Isn't that how they make Amsoil? :shrug: Zooom........

DING DING DING DING DING !!!

It's a motor. It ( motor ) cannot know the difference ( its a motor ) and certainly doesn't "care."

But the response above is based on FACTS. So, as I agree with all of the comments here saying it doesn't matter one bit, my favorite is THIS one because it's based on FACTS ONLY. You've ALREADY mixed or most certainly will sometime in the future. Yes.

Got any small 4 cycle engines in the fleet?

Lawnmower, roto-tiller, snow blower, small outboard, etc?

Great place to use up whichever ones are not your current 'oil of choice' for the wing.


As long as it meets the engine manufacturer's spec, I don't have any concern changing the 'oil of choice', but I don't intentionally make blends of oils from multiple manufacturers. Been a long time since I was stuck somewhere on the road with an engine that needed to have oil added - and used whatever the gas station was selling.

Kinda acknowledges how far both engines and oils have come.

If it was all the same brand probably no problem. But different brands and I am not a fan of Castrol or mobile 1 had had very bad experiences wi5h both.
