On Monday I was changing my bike oil with Rotella T6 Synthetic Diesel oil (been using Rotella for last 3-4 years awesome priced oil compared to synthetic bike oil which is highway robbery for the price, especially if you get it on sale at Crappy Tire). Had just poured the old oil into an empty Rotella jug and put the jug by garage door. Took a new Rotella jug out put it on the tray opened it and started doing the gear oil change. Took the gear oil out and started doing some other stuff, after a bit I poured the old gear oil out in the the Rotella jug, just as I finished I realized I poured the 1/4 litre or less black gear oil in to the new 4 litre jug of oil :shock:, brain went in to deep freeze for a bit fathoming what I had done and feeling like an idiot a true nut and bolt head.
I contemplated using the oil whats a 1/5 litre of black tar oil in 4 litre jug gonna really do, but then again thought I did not want to take any chances, the gear oil was just a bit less than a 1/4 litre. So I refilled the bike with a new jug of oil. I still have the contaminated oil. Now I'm wandering if using this oil as top up would be fine? Anyone here have any advice?
