For future note don't mix oils! If you don't know what your doing give the car to some who does!
Yes, I do know what I am doing in general, I am 43, and have been working on cars since 16, as I stated, I was unsure, being a Saturday CAstrol was not open and I didnt want to waste hours searching auto places for the Sport, thats why I rang a respected person from these forums, he advised it would be OK. I am going to ring Castrol to check, I know it's probably not the best thing to do, but seeing as I already half filled the car, maybe 3L of Sport, will the 1to 1.5 of Titanium really kill the car? Should I sue Supercheap for the cashier telling me its OK to mix and the Titanium supercedes the Sport? Maybe if I bring this up with Castrol they might give me another 5 L for free?
Its fine.
They're the same oil, the new stuff just has a higher titanium content.
The only thing this means is that you can't use them in a diesel vehicle that has a diesel particulate filter.
I have specified Honda Ultra FEO 5W/30 Full Synthetic for my scheduled serivce on the 19th of April.
Looking back through the previous service invoices, the dealers have been using Castrol Magnatec 10W/40.
Should be a vast improvement...
I had my car serviced at Courtney and Patterson, see here.
They charged me $63 for the FEO synthetic and gave me the bottle with the remaining oil.
Looking at past invoices from my parents car, C&P charged my parents about $40 for the non synthetic oil.
Worth the extra $20 or so dollars imo.
