   Hello,just need a quick reply as i'm using my car tomorrow,is it safe to add a 10w 40 A3/B4 SL/CF part synthetic to a 10W 60 same A3/B4 SL/CF but full synthetic? i just need it to cover around 100 miles then i will do a complete oil change immediately.
   
   Many thanks.

   depends how much your adding but if its just a small amount to top up then yes it will be fine. any oil is better than no oil.
