mixing semi and fully synth oil?
I know you arent supposed to mix mineral oil premix in your tank with synthetics but does it matter if you have some fully synth in there (half tank 3% rock oil red stuff) then put the rock oil green semi in?

no problems at all in mixing semi; fully synth or mineral. Back in the good old 1960's any old oil was used in the dispensers with no ill effect.
I think some people may be getting the mixing of CRANKCASE oil confused with 2T oil.

Hi Chris....i do believe the only oil we couln`t mix in the `60`s was the Castrol "R" what the racers used, as it is a vegetable oil.....do you remember that gorgeous smell!!......i haven`t seen or heard of it for years.......bristolmod wrote:no problems at all in mixing semi; fully synth or mineral.
