I wouldn't hesitate, but it would be prudent to watch the consumption for a while afterwards for any abnormalities.
Be sure to use the same grade. (ie: 5W30)

I switch between 0W30 and 5W30 (winter & summer); would that cause any problem?

OP; do you know what brand oil it is. i got 5L Castrol Syntec for $33 at Walmart for regular price.

FYI - Mobil 1 4.4ltr + 1ltr free on sale Friday at Canadian Tire $30.99

How often do you guys change your oil?
I usually do it every 4000km

Thanks for the 411

How long between changes?
4k is way to short IMO.

I've always done sample testing and the G went easily to 8K before there was any degradation.

Ahh, I didn't look at the section before going in to this thread. I just used the last of my M1 last night and wanted to re-stock so I was hoping the sale would be in the states too.
