Ya, my thoughts exactly. Mixing in 1/5 volume of something similar you end up with something close... And oil pressure is good, at any viscosity..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

You've got three out of three (make it 4 of 4) telling you that blending straight weight oils is OK, but that blending multi-viscosity oils (your 1 in 5 volume) is not recommended, because the multi-vis oils have additives that may not play well together.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
