Mobile 1 oil

Can I mix Mobil 1 (Tri-Syntheitc Formula ) 5w-30 and New SuperSyn Synthetic Mobil 1 oil( also 5w-30)?

I had some remains left, dont wana throw it away.

Another consern I have, this New SuperSyn Mobil one has differebt AOI service classification (SL/CF) and manual says only to use 'SJ'.
It also says bellow 'Exceeds API service SL, SJ/CF' Does it mean its ok to use it for CLS??

Are you sure 'New SuperSyn Mobil 5w-30' oil is good for our cars?

It has API Service SL/CF ( and our manual says we need 'SJ' ).
( however, bellow it says that it exceeds API SL,SJ/CF) So I guess its fine for our cars?

I got two botels of Mobil :
'Tri-Synthetic 5w-30' and this new 'SuperSyn 5w-30'


Are you sure its better not to mix them? tri-synthetic is not sold anywhere anymore... it would be a bi*ch to throw two bottels away


Acording to mobil1.com:

Mobil 1 with SuperSyn™ is fully compatible with conventional motor oils, semi-synthetic motor oils and other synthetic motor oils, should it be necessary to mix them. But the superior performance of Mobil 1 with SuperSyn™ will be reduced by diluting it.

Personally I wouldn't mix.

And about the super Syn. WOW. I just did an oil change 400 miles ago and out of no where I swear I got 4 extra horses. I always changed my oil at 3K and always ran Mobil 1 fully-sny. But this new formula is SWEEEEEEEET. I love it.

As long as it does not cause any damage to my engine, I don't care.... I just did not want to throw away two bottles of good synthetic oil
