You could add one quart of the 15W-50 to the other five quarts of 10W-30 to thicken up your blend a bit, which is what I would do if I were to ever try Mobil 1 because of its reputation for thinness, but you should definitely NOT have a whole motor full of 15W-50.

If you do, I would drain it out and get some 10W-30 or 5W-40 in there immediately. 15W-50 is way too thick.

oil is too thick....oil pressure will be too high you can blow gaskets, seals etc....
