I have heard before that it is not wise to mix brands of oil in  an

injection system without sucking the old out and changing the  filter.

If true, why is this? I poured some of my old brand oil in a jar  and

added an equal part of new brand. So far, nothing adverse seems to  be

happening. The oils seem to have mixed well and there is no  jelling,

etc. (Currently placed in the freezer)  What is the potential  harm?  I have been using the Pennzoil TC, and now going to switch to Citgo  Faso FC/EGD/TC specs which is more available and from everything that I have  been able to read, better than a TC  oil.



Thanks,

larry

Before I had oil injection, I mixed Pennzoil and AMSOIL as  a premix in the fuel tank,,,that is I had some Pennzoil premixed gasoline in the  tank (probably about 3 gal) and I mixed about 6 gallon of Amsoil premix with it  and "cloged" my fuel filter with a gel with in an hours flight.  Luckily my  series plumbed auxiliary electric fuel pump was able to force enough fuel thru  it to get me home....twice.  The first time I landed at the nearest  airport, removed the fuel hose from the input of the engine pump and turned on  the electric pump and got a "real good flow" of fuel.  So I hooked  everything back up and headed for home,,,about an hour away and the same thing  happened about 45 minutes later.  Again the electric pump got me  home.   Before Jay D says it....His fuel pressure switch would have  probably told me what was going one for sure or even encouraged me from NOT  taking off at all.  Go Jay....smile.   Bob U.
