This is sound advice from an article by Noria Corporation.
“What are the consequences and/or benefits of mixing synthetic and non-synthetic oil in an engine crankcase, or any other application such as a gearbox? I have been told that a crankcase can be drained of non-synthetic oil and synthetic oil can be added without flushing any of the prior oil residue.”
In general it is never a good idea to mix two different oils in any application. If this is unavoidable, there are two major concerns, specifically incompatibility between the base oil, and incompatibility between the additives. The overwhelming majority of synthetic oils, particularly crankcase oils are PAO based.
From a base oil standpoint, there are usually no problems with mixing a PAO synthetic and a mineral oil since both are hydrocarbon based and chemically very similar. However, extreme caution should be used if the synthetic oil is non-hydrocarbon based.
As for additive incompatibility, the biggest danger is mixing oils with very different additive packages, particularly mixing those with acidic additives, such as most AW and EP oils, with oils containing alkaline additives commonly used in crankcase oils. In this case, mixing can result in a number of problems including additive drop out, loss of demulsibility, foaming problems and reduced oxidation stability.
The best approach is to select the appropriate lubricant for the application at hand and stick with it! If you are forced to mix oil of different types, it is important that either the lubricant manufacturer is consulted and/or compatibility testing is performed to avoid potential problems.

This is a nice little article highlighting the uncertain future of Biodiesel in America. The tax credit expiration at the end of last year has definitely hurt production, ultimately impacting product availability and price competitiveness. Many states have helped, such as Oregon, by creating a B5 mandate, but much more is needed to help overall production in reaching a critical mass to become price competitive with traditional diesel. There is exciting new technologies and processes coming out of this industry to help to improve production, and to reduce the amount of energy required for making the end product. Now is not the time for us to abandon our countries attempts to become more energy dependant.

The biodiesel industry desperately waited for Congress to act this week on H.R. 4213, The American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 2010, to reinstate the much-needed $1 per gallon tax credit before the Memorial Day recess, but time for this to happen has run out essentially.
In an email early Friday morning, Alicia Clancy, corporate affairs coordinator with Renewable Energy Group Inc., wrote, “Last night, it become certain that the biodiesel tax incentive will not be reinstated before the Memorial Day recess. The House did not take action on the ‘American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act’ last night and the Senate went into recess without taking any action on this legislation. While the Senate will technically be in session today, we understand will not be taking any votes. The earliest this bill can be taken up by the Senate is now the week of June 7.”
REG released an official statement on the matter. “The biodiesel industry is greatly disappointed that the U.S. House and Senate appear to be ready to adjourn for the holiday recess today without a solution for the biodiesel industry,” the company, the largest U.S. biodiesel company, stated. “Since returning from their April recess, members of Congress and President Obama have marked the Memorial Day recess as the goal for the reinstatement of the biodiesel tax credit. When Congress returns on June 7, the biodiesel industry will have suffered through two fiscal quarters of market uncertainty, production idling and job losses as our elected officials continue to trumpet their support for alternative energies in the wake of the Gulf Coast oil spill. By not passing the biodiesel tax credit, they have missed an important opportunity to support environmentally-friendly fuel and thousands of green-collar jobs; and are putting a decade’s worth of progress toward energy independence at increasing risk of collapse.”

The following video is for BMW’s 335d that requires the use of Diesel Exhaust Fluid. In addition the BMW X5 xDrive35d also requires the use of Diesel Exhaust Fluid to reduce NOx. BMW and Mercedes-Benz seem to be ahead of the curve with regards to NOx reduction, and look to be ahead of future emissions requirements for these vehicles by taking action now.
