Default oil problems

To make a long story short i did a oil change. I put in 3 20-50 valvoline vrc racing oil, 2 reg. valvoline 10-40. So that made a total of 5 quarts but was still a 1/2 quart low. So my buddy had some Pensoil 5-20 (specifically for 2001 newer fords and recomended for all hondas) so i put a 1/2 quart of that in. It said nothing about not being able to mix it with other oils so i put it in. I pulled my valve cover off lastnight and under a LED light the oil is green. Under a reg. floresent light it looks like reg. oil. Like some CSI crap goin on. Im pretty positive its not a blown head gasket cause my oil is not over filled not milky. It just looks green. Does that pensoil tint the color of the oil or what?

Default

penZoil is crap.

time to do another oil change, you might not have hurt anything, but if i found out anything penzoil was in my car id flush everything immediately and if i had been in the car recently i'd take some ex lax just to be safe.

seriously, flush that crap out. always buy more oil than you need.
