is it ok to mix syntheric engine oil with regular engine oil??

i found out i was low on oil level yesterday and i am a couple of hundred kms to oil change so i didn't want to spend a load of money on Mobil 1 that i am going to drain at the weekend so i bought 1 liter of Mobil XHP to refill.

is that mixture OK or will it hurt my engine??

yes it is ok to blend regular and synthetic. you can actually buy blended oil. as long as you dont go back to all regular your ok

I think the only time you run into problems is when you blend different brands (eg: shell & mobil) as they make the oils compatible with one another just in case this happens.
