AMSOIL Full Synthetic CVT
#22
No this is NOT a coin toss one bit. This has been done for 30 years by hundreds and thousands of car owners. I brought this up to the guy I work with on our oil analysis who in fact helped design Castrol's synthetic ATF. He said no issue there, that is how we do it. We cocktail all the time. You just use the same brand and oil base. (As my Redline cocktaiing).

I've also had oil congeal mixing the same brand but 2 quarts were a year old and 3 were brand new.. Bottles were identical. Not redline but...
Your friend is right they cocktail in the plant all the time, doesn't mean they don't make incompatible combinations.. Luck of the draw. Probably OK if your paying attention, but for the bazillion folks out there who don't rally have the base knowledge of what to look for,,, mixing oils is not the way to go. IMHO and everyone is entitled to their opinion.
