Not good to mix oil, best to carry out full change if low and you not sure what you have in it already.

Smell it. The oils have a different distinctive smell. But can't explain it but it is a different smell.

They may smell different but it still doesn't tell you which is which!

Put a drop of each into glass jars and give 'em a shake (pop them in the fridge for an hour to get them cold?)
