Mixed 5W30 with 5W20, what now?

Hey,

I bought 2 bottle of 5 Quarts 5W30 oil and 1 bottle of 5 Quarts 5W20 for another car....

Just did an oil change and the bottles ended up mixed by accident , so now the car has 5 quarts of 5W30 and 5 quarts of 5W20. They are both Mobil 1 Extended Performance Full Synthetic. (https://mobiloil.com/en/motor-oils/m...ed-performance)

This oil is good for a full year, now I'm not sure if I should do the oil change all over again or if this will be fine. It's cold where I live if it makes a difference.

What do you guys think?

Now you have 5W25...haha! should be fine, don't change your oil, the 5W part has more to do with starts in cold weather anyway, so you're good.

Yep, exactly. Motors junk but I’ll take it off your hands for $100 since I’m such a nice guy.

Jokes aside, you’re fine. I wouldn’t track the car on a 95 degree day with that oil, but for regular street driving you’re good.
