oil mix up? Recently changed my engine oil. I usually use RP but, after draining oil and installing new oil filter, I realized I did not have enough RP to fill my crankcase, since this is my daily driver and I live in the sticks I poured in two quarts of mobil one to top it off. Since then I get the change oil light on my dash. But once I give it some gas the light shuts off. Am I going to cause damage to the engine by mixing the different brands, same viscosity, by running it as is or should I change the oil immediately.

you won't damage anything, and that isnt the reason for your light either. the oil change light is a reminder light that needs to be reset manually after you change the oil.
It comes on for several seconds everytime you start the car, then goes away.
It's just a coincidence that it goes away 'when you give it some gas'
