6/0 aluminum to 8/0 copper

I am moving a stove in a quad home. The current circuit is 6/0 aluminum, with a 40amp breaker. I need to make a splice to extend the circuit. Since 6/0 aluminum is rated for 40amps, and 8/0 copper is rated for 40amps, can I splice 6/0 aluminum to 8/0 copper, or do I have to use 6/0 aluminum to extend the circuit? Or, would I continue with 6/0 copper?
