I bought my new S2000 from a dealership and before they sold it to me, they did an oil change but Idk what kind of oil they used. (100% sure its not synthetic since they put that sticker on saying to change it in the next 3,000 miles.) Since my AP1 is burning oil, I don't know what type of oil to use. I was just going to use 10w30, but I didn't know if mixing them would cause problems. I would just do an oil change but if the filter is less than 600 miles old, why bother.

You can mix viscosity, but not synthetic and non synthetic

You can mix all you want, I mix oil for my S and my bikes. It's an urban myth, what do you think a blended oil is? It's both mixed together but most if not all oil companies won't tell you the % of each. Most are not blended in a 50/50 mix. But if you mix it, you know what the % of the mix is.

I wouldn't do it and don't see any benefit.

I run Amsoil 0w30 in my S2k,Z06 & GST.0w20 goes in the EXV & CRV.

I don't believe you should have any issues. Just to be safe you can check the oil manufacturers website they should indicate if you can mix viscosity.

Air on them putting in the proper viscosity of 10/30 and just top it off with this. The likely alternative which may have been used if they didn't bother to look at the oil cap or manual, is 5/30. At either rate, your only mixing the cold viscosity, its not going to be a problem. Running either one is fine in this car.

of course you can

Summer i run 10w30 and fall/winters i run 5w30 or 0w30 for better start ups during cold temps. You can run whatever you want. My s used to burn a lot a oil then i went to Pennzoil platinum and i dont burn about 1 quart in 1500 2000 miles.

Untrue. Most Dino based oils are now a synthetic blend anyways. Even if they weren't you still could.

As long as the oil is a decent brand and API certified you are fine.
