Interesting read, somehow since my mileage near 0ver 110k , tried 5-40 on recommended 0-20 somehow fills the bigger gap engine. Next round prob go back to 0-20.
Is it good to mix abit 5-40?

finally Giant listened. they started bringing in shell hx8 5w-30 SN/SN plus spec now!

although its Made in Malaysia. no untuk pasaran Malaysia in sight, so I'm guessing its for export. 5w-40 is still the usual imported version.

only thing right now is, its priced at rm128. will wait for discount but lately cheapest also about rm108 and i need to change my oil real soon.

Hi guys, need some advice on mixing oils.

1. Is it okay to mix different brand of engine oil with same viscosity. For example, 4L of brand A 0w20 + 0.5L balance of brand B 0w20 from previous oil change. 

2. 0.5L balance of brand B 0w20 + 4L brand B 5w30.

I understand that different brand or different product range from product range will differs in the oil blend. But will it have any serious impact to the engine?

Reason is I don't want to waste the balance oil.
*
Same weight should be ok

If you do not warm up/drive it long enough to at least reach 90c temps, you're better off leaving it cold storage never start up.

Otherwise, You'll do more harm than good through fuel dilution.

Wat if idling start but rev gradually off n on for about 10mins?

No good

Most cars needs between 20-30 minutes of idling even in Malaysian weather to get to 90c

If you drive right away normally, you can cut that time down by at least 5 to 10 minutes+ so at least still need between 10-25 of driving to get 90c (operating temp, and hot enough to prevent fuel dilution)
*
Ya dilution worst fr engines with gdi esp the H 1.5T. last time Ketam always SC filled up to almost 4liters during the 1st 2yrs until they used pump EO system n always oil level passed max marks even less than 3mths usage n outside wrkshop also like to pour all in frm bottles. So by 6th yr using valve gasket gone but luckily not head gaskets like those frm US.
So since then even with my G10 now always make sure they do 3.6lits only
