Oil mix? Just bought my car and the oil is a quart low. I'm gonna change it next weekend. Problem is I don't know if it has mineral or sythetic oil in it. I just wanna put a cheap quart in it for a couple days while the week passes. Anyone know if this will cause a problem. I don't have a maintenance record of what the previous owner used either.

if your gonna change it next weekend i dont think it should cause a problem, and your only adding one quart, id say do it and change it next weekend, but dont change it and drive on it for an extended period of time

I would change it tomorrow, but between school and work, there's just not enough time. Somehow whenever I plan to change the oil and expect it to take 30-45 minutes. It ends up taking two hours. So I've just learned to plan for the extra time that way I'm not pressed for time. Such a simple task that always seems to have some problem occur.
