Myth. You can mix conventional and synthetic oils, but it's generally not recommended. Mixing them may dilute the benefits of synthetic oil, and it's best to stick to one type of oil for optimal performance and protection. Always check your vehicle's owner's manual or consult with a mechanic for the best advice specific to your vehicle.

Yes, I am sure. It is technically possible to mix conventional and synthetic oils, as they are both made from petroleum. However, doing so can lead to a dilution of the advantages that synthetic oils provide, such as better lubrication, higher temperature resistance, and improved engine protection.

Most experts recommend sticking to one type of oil for consistency and optimal performance. If you need to top off your oil and only have one type available, it's generally acceptable to mix a small amount. However, for the best long-term results, it's advisable to use one type consistently, as specified in your vehicle's owner's manual. If you have any specific concerns or questions, it's always best to consult a trusted mechanic.
