oil

[colin loach]

Hi All.

 

I changed the oil and filter on my isuzu 42 using hdi multi grade 10.40 by mistake i put 1 litre of morris suprem 30 in to take the oil up to the dipstick line. do i need to change it all again including the filter. Colin

itll be fine, if its at max on the dipstick you have 5 litres of the correct oil in there so that will dilute the supreme 30 easily.

 

i would however bring forward the next planned oil change just to be safe.

I've heard it said "don't mix oils" and the one time I did tip 2 litres or so of Isuzu oil into a Morris can I then poured a horrid snot like mess into the engine. Possibly as.the Morris's stuff had been sat around for a while it had emulsified. However peace of.mind dictated a flush and change just to be.sure.

 

I'd preach caution until someone.who.knows.better. can clarify.

Thanks both. I checked the dipstick and the oil has mixed in ok so i'm going to leave it for now. Colin.
