If you can't sell it or exchange it. You could consider mixing.Quote:

In terms of the method of mixing, there are brands, viscosity and proportion one would try. However, a case of mixing Mobil 1 and 50% proportion is as safe as you will get using the mixing method. Going further than this, most people get more misses than hits meaning not getting a good result.
anyone know where i can get 'crush washers' from? so i can replace it when i put the sump plug back on?
i'm usually lazy and don't replace it if the washer still looks fine, but since they're cheap as chips i'm thinking why not.
is there anything i need to know about crush washers, besides getting the correct size? like are there different ones made out of different materials?
what's the washer size for the euro's sump plug? i'm too lazy to open my workshop manual...lol :)
acura of escondido on ebay sell oem parts from US cheap.
Get it from any hardware shop that sells car parts/tools like Autobarn or Bursons. It uses a 10mm aluminium crush washer.Quote:

buy it from honda and ask for the washer its another 75 cents. use honda oil on ure car.
royal purple and motul okai aswell
anyone know any shops that are having sales on their oil?
i want to get some motul 8100 but there was no sale on at autobarn and it was 70 something bucks!
