this might be old info, but Mobil 1 recommends that you never mix synthetics of different brands together.
Take your one quart back to Kragens and see if they'll give you a quart of Vavoline.

This from the Mobile1 website:
Q. Can different synthetic motor oils be mixed together?
A. Mobil 1 with SuperSyn™ is fully compatible with conventional motor oils, semi-synthetic motor oils and other synthetic motor oils, should it be necessary to mix them. But the superior performance of Mobil 1 with SuperSyn™ will be reduced by diluting it.
Save yourself the trouble of returning the oil and just mix them...

Again, my info was a warning from Mobil one from years ago. Although there may not be anything wrong with mixing syn oils, I still wouldn't. Synthetic by definition are lab engineered, so why mix mixtures from two different companies? I care enough about my car to use synthetic, and I always go the extra mile to get the oils all from one company.
