Any issue with mixing 0w20 & 5w20 Mobil 1?

I have 2 quarts of 0w20 Mobil 1 left over from the last oil change. Any issues with mixing it with 5w20 Mobil 1? (Full synthetic for both).

Yes, If you do, the car will start to develop rattles and vibrations. Then, eventually, the motor and transmission will both fall out of the car while driving. Then the paint will start to chip and the doors will fall off.

I heard that your engine will sludge up and there would be additive clash.

Consequences of viscosity clash...

I heard a rumor that the headliner develops butt prints too!
