Solve the question, can we mix different types of engine oil into the engine?

Today, there are many types of ‘engine oil’ in the market. Many people who use cars may have questions that if one day your engine oil is reduced, can we add another type of engine oil different from the previous engine oil?  Especially, if we do not have time to change the engine oil at the regular transfer center. In addition, will the above combination harm the engine? Borneo Review would like to invite everyone to come and find answers together with this article ~

👉 1. Mixed with different types of engine oil ⛽

The proportions of different motor oils, such as conventional engine oil, semi-synthetic engine oil, and fully synthetic engine oil there will be other base oil ingredients. It can be used together but should be the same type of engine oil, such as used for diesel engines alike, the same API standard grade, and have the same viscosity number.

👉 2. Mixed with different brands of engine oil ⛽

Using different brands of engine oil, such as from brand A engine oil changed to brand B. There may indeed be some differences in properties and ingredients. But if the quality is at the same level and can be used together, just might have reduced lubrication performance or engine protection capability. However, we must note that the API value and the viscosity of the oil are the same. So if you’re not sure what did you add before, a new replacement is the best solution for the engine.

👉 3. Mixed with engine oil with different viscosity ⛽

When using engine oil with different viscosity you should look at several elements. First, can be used together in case of similar viscosity or low engine oil. If adding only a little or no more than 10% will not affect the work much, because the properties are not very different. Conversely, if the viscosity values are not the same shouldn’t be mixed. Excessive viscosity will affect pressure, or if it’s too little or too clear, the engine will have to work harder than necessary.

👉 4. Diesel engine oil mixed with Benzene engine oil ⛽

For diesel and gasoline engine oil the car user shouldn’t be mixed it shouldn’t even be done. Except in an emergency, which should be taken immediately to prevent engine damage. Because all types of engine oil, whether diesel or benzene are designed to be suitable for use with that type of engine. Therefore, it is best to use the correct engine oil for the engine.

👉 5. Conclusion ⛽

Although other forms of engine oil can be used together, in the end, filling different oils is not a good thing for our cars. Because the combination will reduce the efficiency of engine oil from where it should be. A good solution is to change the oil. to keep the engine fresh and ready to run, It also helps to extend the service life of the car to stay with us for a long time as well.
