I have 4 stroke motor oil for my Raptor, however they aren't made from the same company..One is Honda & the other is Suzuki..Would it cause any problems if I mixed the two together for a oil change? It's all the same specs.

 

It's not a good idea to combine different oils. Why? Each's chemical breakdown is set up with different ingredients IE friction modifiers, cleaners, etc., and when you combine the different oils neither oil is being used in the intended condition of which it was made. The oils could counteract each other and leave you with a lesser quality oil than the 2 oils you started out with. This is asuming the same company is not making both oils and slapping a honda sticker on one and a Suzuki sticker on the other...LOL. <--that happens to.

 

Just to add to that............

When mixing some oils together they can actually become caustic. Which means more damage than good, especially when you add heat. I would recommend that even if you change oils you flush the crankcase with the new oil of your choice. I'm not saying that those to oils would be caustic together, but I don't want to see your next post if you find out they are. Just my 2 cents.

 

Thanks for the reply!
