Better to mix oils than run a quart low.  This would apply either to different brands / same viscosity, which I personally don't think is all that big a deal - or to different viscosities.

It would be best if, in a pinch, you had to add a quart of - say, 5W30 Pennzoil to 2 1/2 quarts of 20W50 Amsoil - to change all 3 1/2 quarts including filter as soon as possible.  Not an emergency, but advisable to do so.

In no case would I knowingly run more than 1/2 quart low, certainly just because I didn't have the same oil to put in with me.  And good advice to travel with an extra quart, if you can.  Not really an option on my V-rod but I always do on the SERK.

Oh, one more thing.  Using a quarter per 1000 miles is far, far from normal.  Unbelievable what some dealers will call "normal."  For reference, I've used a total of 1/2 quart in 10,000 miles.  And honestly, I'm not even sure if the 1/2 quart was burned or a case of getting shorted the half quart at the 1000 mile service.  Last oil changes I've done myself & not seen a drop burned.

Maybe he's wanting to pour the oil on rich guys ?  A well-tossed-salad kind of thing .

If someone wanted to work at it I bet there's another country song in there somewhere....

Don, I'm getting worried about you.  You like getting your "salad tossed" ?

Now, I'm just wondering.......If a bike is still under warranty, dealer says that 1 qt oil consumption in 1K miles acceptable. 
But, if the bike is out of warranty and a motor rebuild would be on the bike owners $, would the dealer then say that 1 qt oil consumption in 1K miles is unacceptable and that the bike owner should spend the $$$$ for rebuild??

Or would a judge consider that normal in a civil suit case?

Don't know RD.  Throw in the right salad tosser and it'd probably be something worth paying extra for .

Man, give it the right inflection and just about anything can sound dirty.  I know I could get slapped just for asking a waitress "hey, you want your salad tossed too?"

George, you see, it's like this.  There was an (warning, tacky Harley Davidson pun upcoming) Evolution.  First there was Ken:

Rich guys have 75% of all the money they ever made. They can pack for a vacation in 10 minutes or less. And they can have sex anytime they want to.

Then Ken got Chip onboard.

What's that got to do with mixing oil?

 

Then Chip got me (pun warning #2) tossing in a comment.

If someone wanted to work at it I bet there's another country song in there somewhere....

But, alas, there was not another country song.  So in sadness for the loss (and to continue the silly) RD wondered:

Don, I'm getting worried about you.  You like getting your "salad tossed" ?    

   

Then being the kind soul that you are RD's worry led to your concern:

In other words, it was a normal CVOHarley thread jack.  A little silly.  A little funny.  A little oddball.  And a couple of cases of icons being mistaken for insight.

 

Yeap, just another thread here at CVOHarley.

It's a great place.

Here you can,

Learn a lot,
Laugh a lot,
Ride with friends a lot,
And learn about oil and life!
But not necessarily in that order!
Glad your here!
