Mixing oil types (5w-20 mixed with 10w-30)
My RV has the ford v-10 in it and I noticed today the oil is closer to the "low" level than the "full" level on the dip stick. I have a few quarts of 10w-30 (might be 5w-30) but I was going to top it ...

Well this problem has probably resolved it self as the OP hasn't ben back and he was traveling on 11/26/15.
The take away from this (that a bunch apparently missed)He was going to take a new to him coach on a 4-5 hour trip. The oil when he picked it up was at the low level. He doesn't know what the consumption/leakage rate is for this coach. I still maintain the best practice is to fill it to the full level and check it at several points on the trip. He needs to keep an close eye on the level until he develops a history of the consumption.
