<VV> Re: FUEL RETURN LINE AND MIXING OILS

[Bryan Blackwell]

I read a long time ago that mixing oils was not a really good idea if 
it could be avoided.  However, I'll add that the engine oil sees a lot 
more stress - heat, combustion byproducts, temp swings, etc.  So, I 
generally try to top off fluids with the same brand and type as what's 
in there currently.  I figure it really isn't any more trouble to do 
that, so why not?
