Mixing CI and CJ oil?
I've got about 2 and a half gallons of Delo 400 I found in the garage of the CI stuff. I need to get rid of it, so I presume it's all good to fill it with that and top off with the new stuff? It should be compatable I'd think. Thanks!

It may not hurt to run the CI oil for one oil fill. If the rings are seated you won't have much zinc or phosphates getting to the DPF.

There' no reason to run CJ oil if you don't have a DPF. I would give away the CJ oil and just run CI-4 off road oil.

Yep, that's what I was lookin for. I kinda figured it should be ok. Like I said, I have 2+ good gallons sitting there, might as well put them to use!
