Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suggestion
A quarter of the oil stays in when you change it (8-9 of the 12 total liters), so if you change viscosities, you are mixing oils.
Leading evidence: 'Replace viscosities, you are mixing oils' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace viscosities, you are mixing oils' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Always been my understanding that mixing viscosities was OK. Also understand that if you inadvertently mix conventional with synthetic, it won't cause damage either, although I'd sure be careful not to do it.
Also, I think I read somewhere not to mix different brands. Viscosities ok to mix within brands for topping off. But yes, gota911, oil means it's popcorn time!!
Now hold on there Cowboy...only 8 posts so this IS your first rodeo
Don't just come round here posting oil Bulls... unless you got lots of that there darn PCorn
...ya hear
Ok. I get it. I guess oil is not a good thing to bring up around here.
Thanks for the reassurance that mixing is ok, though.
While we're on this subject of "mixing", I have a more serious question:
Is it safe to mix whole milk with skim milk, or does that viscosity combination really cause the Oreo to explode upon dunking?
I heard Richard Pryor burned himself up that way.
