Generally speaking, different types of oils should never be mixed, even if they have the same viscosity (thickness), because the additives used in one may interfere with the efficacy of the other and/or with that of the intended device, motor, engine, etc. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended fluid types and amounts for your given vehicle.
