Hi Dave,
If you "Google" mixing oils you will find most opinions do not recommend it.
Different oils have different additives and they may not play well together.

Subject: [6pack] Synthetic Oil Mix
> I run synthetic Mobil 1 10W-30 in my car. When on a trip recently, I noted
that the crankcase was a quart low. As it was late, all I had access to, on
the road, was a high-quality but "non-synthetic" [real] oil. Rather than
running a quart low, I added it to the crankcase to complete the ride home.
Now, I've got second thoughts: Does mixing a quart of 'real' oil with
synthetic withsynthetic pose a problem? Should I go through a whole new
oil/filter change?
