Spare oil logistics
I guess everyone carries some spare engine oil with them, let's say a litre. So far I've always been advised to never mix different oils, and to make sure to use the same oil for topping up as the one that is currently in the engine. Now that makes me wonder what people do after an oil change if the same oil as used previously is not available. Do you dump/replace your litre of spare oil to match the new one? Do you keep it and if neccessary top up regardlessly? Are there any recommendations which oils are 'compatible'?
