is it ok to mix 2 different oil brands with the same weight? i forgot exactly what motor oil was put but it was 10-40. my oil level is kinda low so i need to put some in. can i just go and get a 10-40 or it has to be the same exact brand and type?

 

No there will be INTERNal CombuSTION!!!11

Shouldn't matter. Same weight it'll mix up good.

 

anybody confirm this?

 

I do it all the time, as long as its the same weight it will mix up fine. Just different brands have different additives to protect your engine. So its best to stick to one, if you want to change brand, do an oil change

 

we just put oil in yesterday but we ran out. so yeah

Yes.

I've mixed oils that are neither the same brand, weight, or even base.

 

Shouldn't be a problem, my brother used to run a oil change shop and he says its ok to do that, especially if it means messing up your motor by having no oil in the thing. So yeah, looks like you did it already so ok
