Having picked up my Cerbera a week ago I have done around 600 miles and the oil level while still well above min has dropped a bit.

Is this about right for a Speed 6 ?

The car is on Fuchs 10-50 fully synthetic which my local Halfords don't appear to have, I don't think there would be an issue topping up with another 10-50 fully synthetic - Would there ???

There are a couple of other potential suppliers I will check out today as I would prefer to stick with what was recommended but thought I would ask the question regarding mixing the oils.

It is a nice day here today and the wife is away for the day so I can go out to play, I would like to top up first though.

It depends on the base oil, I have mixed oils in the past with no problem. If it's another fully synthetic you should be ok but that's just my opinion obviously!

Keep oil at max not near minimum.

That was my thought, a good quality fully synthetic of the same grade
