Default Oil Question

Can you mix synthetic oils with non synthetic oils and put it in your car?

You can do it, but why? If you want a blend, your best bet is Schaeffer Oil. They make an excellent blend which is 25% synthetic and is less than $3 per quart. Castrol Syntec Blend has also shown extremely good oil analysis results too.

Don't play home chemist, buy a fully formulated blend. If you do mix your own, be sure to do it only with the guidance of an oil analysis expert such as Terry Dyson:
