Have a messed up on oil.?
09/21/10 at 10:32:09

I was on a 400 mile round trip last weekend and noticed I was low on oil (got the usual leak) so I topped up with 10/40 synthetic.. got back and realised on my last oil change I used a 10/40 part synthetic.. Is this an epic fail? I know a lot of debate revolves around types of oil but I'm clueless.. Am I ok to ride for another week before I can afford a complete change?

Thanks.

OH NO ANOTHER OIL WAR!!!!!!!!!! Shocked

Seriously, I would think you are OK, part synthetic mixed with mixed synthetic. how much damage could it do.

I am sure there will be plenty of smarter people who reply and get you on the striaght and narrow. Probably some not so smart people will reply as well (hey, I just did!)

I would say you are OK

Mixing dino with highly refined dino is quite acceptable.

I thought as much but too much google can lead to plenty of panic.. I'm due a full change anyway so will do next week to put my mind at rest.
