    After several change oils, the leftover oil of approx .5L accumulated to 3.5L now.
    Gagamitin mo ba ito?
    Mix of Castrol, Petron, Shell
    All premium (not synthetic )

    It's ok if they're all exactly the same (brand, viscosity, type, etc). Probably NOT if it's a mix of different brands of oil.

    From a practical standpoint, I think it should be alright. I'm just a bit of a purist with vehicle lubes.

    My car uses up x.5 litres so I ask the casa to give me the .5 excess and I bring that on my next oil change.

    no, they do not turn into engine-destroying evil oils, when mixed together.
    the oils can be used against each other, mix and match style.
    just be sure they all individually satisfy the engine's requirement specifications.

    It's never a good practice to mix oil from different blenders, having different API specs/additive package, types, viscosity and/or viscosity indexes.

    On the other hand, it WILL work... but likely for a while. Unless you can get a UOA after say, 3,000 km, will you be able to tell if the oil did its job well or if it had a detrimental effect.

    So if you're not a betting man and you consider your vehicle as your own prized baby, don't gamble and just pony up for a new oil.

    Otherwise, it's your car and you have liberty to inflict to it whatever you wish.

    I pour them all in. If its 3.XX liters, then 4 liters go in.

    Not leftovers.

    In all my cars. Seriously!

    Wala naman masama nangyari.

    Maybe panghugas ng engine lang say 3000km then change filter and oil again at 5000k as usual
    Pwede rin bigay nalang sa kapitbahay na meron multicab or tricycle

    Yeah, was thinking of the same thing, engine flush, but only till 1,000 km or 1 month, whichever comes first...

    Engine Oil has a shelf life of about 5 years.

    Even if it's no longer sealed?
