Sorry, another oil question.

[Meeka]

Had my oil and filter done at the dealer yesterday, and like I always do, check it cold next morning. It was just a little over half. I like to have it just around the ‘full’ hole. My dealer only uses semi synthetic (I know, don’t get me started) so my question is can I top it off with full synthetic as long as it’s still 5-30 weight? I’m thinking no problem. Thanks!

Yes. Go ahead and add it.
I say yes because your synthetic blend is already Blended.
You are just adding more synthetic to it and a small amount at that.

Yes.

That’s what I thought, thanks Glen.

Yup, I second that. Think you'll be good to go!

Truthfully, the "hole" is the "you've gone too far hole, now take some out" hole.

You SHOULD be anywhere in the cross-hatched area for proper performance.

This is what the manual shows for a 2023 hybrid.

This is what the manual shows for a 2023 hybrid. Hole "C" above the hash marks is maximum.

Okay, but mine is an EcoBoost and I would just like it to be at the second hole or a teeny bit lower. My dipper doesn’t have a hole ‘c’. So I just want it at hole B. This is starting to sound weird Anyway….

Enhance .... enhance .... enhance

There is nothing but a line for B in that picture.

If it is anywhere between "A" and "B" and below "C" you are good, but I am like you and would want it close to or at "B".

Fine then people,’24 EcoBoost FX4, 2.0 turbo, made in Mehico, sent to Canada, here is pics of my oil stick! No A,B, or C!

I like to fill mine to "B" (Nominal) or slightly below. In cold weather I've had the level increase to the "C" hole (I believe from fuel dilution) even though I avoid short trips as much as possible.

Duh, never mind, AB&C are just reference points to points on the dipstick, daft me

Well at least you're not hung up on the a-hole.
