Default Mixing different shock oil grades

Ok
Random question

If you mix different shock oil.grades. do they stay mixed or seperate?

Just a bit of a clutching at straws moment as i understand the math with ratios to get what i want. But not sure if the oil can chemically do what i want

Need a heavier oil? If you combine 60wt with a 30wt in equal measures according to my reasoning you end up with 45wt oil, not 90wt.

I know.

Plan is using heavier oil and lighter oil to get something in between.

For example

2000 and 700 in 3rd/2 3rd ratio should be about 1000

Will just try it and see

As long as the type of oil is similar, and the additives. They'll blend no problem.
Same brand/model is a good start. But most rc oils use a similar make up. So should be good to go.
