Oil Mix Error

[furrydice]

At the 6K service my Tuscan was filled with 10W/60 fully synthetic.
I've just been a bit of a fool and topped up with the residual oil left over prior to this service which was semi-synthetic 10W/40.
I put in less than 500ml before I noticed. Do you guys/girls think I need to change the oil or will this small amount be unlikely to cause a problem.

Also, anyone now where I can pick up Castrol 10W/60 in the Nottinghamshire area as it doesn't seem to be stocked by the main retail giants.

Cheers

Furry.

Wouldn't have thought you would have any problem, but opieoilman would know for sure.

Any oil is better than no oil....

Synthetic with synthetic should be ok... I dont think you'd have a problem... the weighting is wrong, but shouldnt make much of a difference once it all heats up and mixes up.... mix Sainsbury's pure orange juice with Tesco's... I doubt you'd have a problem... (bad comparison i know... but you get the jist)

5oo mil in 12 litres shouldn't be a problem.

minerals and synths shouldn't be mixed but a semi-synth will be fine.

i wouldn't change it.

you can mix and match all the famous oils these days (just don't try mixing a vegetable oil in there ).. in the tuscan you can only change half the oil at the service anyway so it was already a blend of mineral, semi synth and fully synth.

It should be fine.
