Oil I've mixed part synthetic with fully, is this bad? (2.2ctdi)

ripper1001 · 24th July 2012, 16:22

As above, my engine oil was low and all i could get at the time was Castrol part synthetic engine oil. I put about 1Lt in, will it be ok or should i change all the oil right away?

For 1Ltr I would leave it be.

and 1 litre of oil means it was very low

The difference between the dipstick being full and empty is 1lt. So just leave it until my next service then?

I like too keep the optimum in my engine (peace of mind) if you want buy some castrol edge (0w30) and an oil filter go down to kwik fit on a saturday and chuck the bloke a £10 and theyll do it guaranteed.
