Since we have Salesrep, the "go to guy" for lubrication questions, I'm going to take advantage of the opportunity.
What are the dangers, if any, of mixing different types of engine oils? By that I mean, different weights (say a quart of 15/30 into an engine full of 10/40, or straight 30, etc.), or, different service classes (diesel engine oils in a gas engine, or vice versa).
What makes the difference between diesel and gas engine oils anyway?
This is an area where my specific knowledge has always had a definite gap.
Anybody else with wisdom to contribute is welcome to as well...
Thanks.
