I'm running Castrol Magnatec 10w30 at the moment, Toyota specifies I have my oil changes done at one of their dealers in order to keep my new turbo warranty (It's a Toyota CT26 reconditioned). My problem is that I can't find bottled Magnatec 10w30 at any shop there only exists Magnatec 10w40 and I can't afford a Toyota oil change at the moment but I'd like to top up the oil I have since I've got another 1,500kms left till the next service interval but it's down to 1/3 oil level on dipstick.
I'm pretty sure its not good to top it up with another brand of oil, so should it be fine to mix 10w30 and 10w40? -------------------- Mike W
