mixing oils
      #30422 - 11/08/2008 11:07

Hi peeps.
My track bike requires a oil change.
I have two bikes at home and a shelf full of half full oil cans left over from oil changes
Ive got two cans with the same grade oil in (10w:50)
Both are semi`s but one can is silkolene and the other is shell advance.
With both of these cans i have enough to do a oil change with out having to spend £30 on a new can of oil.
Is it safe to mix the same grade oils from different manufacturers?

It will be fine to mix the oils.
