Semi Synthetic with Hi Synthetic Oil

[Garetht]

Ordered some of the millers XFE-PD and was sent the semi synthetic one instead of the Hi synthetic. It's a TDI 130, not that will make much difference!!!

Is it ok to mix the 2 oils in the engine ?

Maybe a dumb question but need to put some oil in the car asap.

Specifically, what did they send you?

Oil

They sent me the millers Semi Synthetic instead of the Hi Synthetic.

To be honest I am not to sure what is the best one to use anyway!!!

Any advice ?

Okay, I'll ask you again. What did they send you? They make a range of semi synthetic oils, one of which I would possibly trust as a top up oil in an emergency. But that depends on what the stuff is you have in hand.

They have sent me XFE-PD Semi Synthetic, but I am using in the engine at the moment XFE-PD Hi Synthetic.

Sorry should have explained a little more.

Then I'd be happy topping up with that oil. It's a different weight, but still suitable for a pd engine. The full synthetic oil would be my preferred choice though. Better is best.
