My 1.4 8V Ibiza ran on 10W-30 Castrol Magnatec for the last 2 years.
I just changed the oil yesterday afternoon and had about half a bottle of 5W-30 Castrol Magnatec and half a bottle of 15W-40 Castrol Magnatec so I mixed them.
I came to start it this (cold) morning and it struggled a little, although was fine once warmed up.
Could it be a problem with mixing the oil viscosities (even though I used same brand) or is it likely that it's because it was cold this morning and I didn't turn over the engine much after replacing the oil and filters since yesterday so it just took time to get into the engine parts?
Just a little concerned
