Title: Quick Oil question (not that one!! lol)
Post by: trotter on January 15, 2009, 11:47:04 AM
Changing oil on Saturday from Semi-synthetic to mineral after a wee discussion with Pip.

I know that you shouldnt really mix these under normal circumstances but if I drain semi-syn out as much as I can, then fill up with mineral is there any potential problems?

Cheers in advance

As semi synthetic is re-manufactured mineral oil you will be fine going back to mineral,

itll be good mate, its not a massive amount so it shouldnt cause any problems, if your worried though you could allways drain the oil coolers, hoses etc or give the pressure sensor a clean
