Some brands are made from one type of base, while other brands are made from another (I can't remember the names, but I think one of them is "Pennsylvania" type). What happens if you mix them is that components in the base and/or additives will break each other down, seriously reducing viscosity and lubercating protection. -- kitten~ {ucbvax!unisoft | scgvaxd | trwrb | felix}!pertec!kitten
