Coming up on an oil change. Previous oil change I mistakenly used 5W-30. It was a 5qt jug so I have some left over. I am going to use 5W-20 on the upcoming oil change. Both brands are from the same vendor (Advanced Auto). Is it ok to mix in the remaining 5W-30 with 5W-20?
Thanks
EDIT- correction to subject line and message. thanks

You can mix any oil with any oil, just don't expect to get an extended change interval.
