Sorry for such a bonehead post. I just drained my oil and now realize that all I have is 2 10-30 quarts and 3 10-40s (Valvoline) I'm going on a 2000 mile trip next week. Should I just relax about the whole thing or change it again before I go. Trip is to the southwest if temps matter at all.

As long as the same brand of oil, should be no problem mixing.

Thanks. I thought so but then I just got to wondering.
P.S. Check your air filter after camping. Last summer I saw those cute little footprints all in the dust under the hood. Now I pull my air filter and the top is of course pristine. The bottom is partly missing and full of string and seeds.
