Afternoon folks.
I've got to do the service on my Td5 today, and I've hit a bit of a snag.
I've currently got Caltex brand Havoline 5W30 oil, but I don't have enough for a full swap.
Unfortunately, only Caltex outlets sell Caltex oil, and neither of the outlets here sell 5W30 in anything bigger than a top up container.
So my query is this, can I go out and buy another brand 5W30 synthetic oil and use both of them, or should I go all one brand?
Cheers

Mixing happens anyway, but this is an interesting read

Hmmm.
We'll see what happens I guess, I've got a lot of faith in the Td5 oil system so I'm assuming it should be okay.
I picked up some Nulon 5W30 fully synthetic, same specs as my Havoline so I'm hoping it should be okay.
