From what I understand, all automotive oils can be mixed without one breaking down another.  Differing weights included.  Quality, additive package etc. not taken into consideration.  So if one must, one must and can do.  How long one leaves it in there before going back to their better choice of oil is up to them.

the presence of Synthetic Blend oil means it's OK to mix synthetic and dyno oil but the only thing the public do not know is the ratio... I've heard it's about 75% synthetic and 25% conventional oil depending on the brand.
