Stupid question: Is it ok to mix different weights of synthetic? I have M1 20w50, and added a quart of 0w30 since I was a bit low after 2k miles and the fact that winter is coming up. After thinking about this, I think I remember seeing a write-up on this at the Mobil website. I'll check there, but if anyone has any insight, please speak up!
