In-Reply-To:  <3F71D344.9060709@uidaho.edu>

I just mixed 2 1/2 qts. of Chevron Delo 400 15w40, 1 1/2 qts. of Chevron 10w30, and 1/2 qt. of Shell Rotella T 5w40 synthetic. This is with a 1.8 l. RV inline four. When I do something like this I monitor it at the dipstick after each ride until I'm satistied that all's well.
