Mixing oil?
I have read a couple of threads that you should not mix oil. Can someone explain what would happen if you do? Say, I am using 10W30 in the engine and then add a quart of 10W40 in the fix. What will happen inside the engine? I am always curious about this topic.

Nothing will happen if you mix. It is a requirement of oil specifications to be able to be different kind of oil without any adverse effects.

Right, nothing will happen and your engine will not notice it.
The viscosity may rise a bit due to the addition of the 10W-40, to something like 10W32.:p
