Is there any reason I can't mix synthetic 0W-40 with synthetic 5W-40 ?

not that I'm aware of the opieman commented on this a while back. I'm sure he said it is ok blending oils is pretty much all the oil companies do... I think you can even blend mineral oils and synthetics to get semi synthetic...

both those oils seem quite thin to me. I've just swapped onto Sikolene pro-s 10w50 It seems the oil of choice at the mo from opie oils. can't say yet whether it makes any difference...
