You can mix and match. There's no problem other than that you somewhat "dilute" the benefits of 100% synthetic.
The jugs of Mobil1 I have in my garage say "Compatible with all oils". However, when I said "mix of the two" I was referring to the synthetic blends out there. The OEM oil for my truck is a synthetic blend 5W20.
I doubt it. My only "bad" experience with going from dino to synth was that synth seems to have a lot more detergents in it and "dissolved" the gunk that was preventing a front cover leak on a Pontiac V8. The synth slipped right through it and I had to replace the cover's gasket to stop the leak. (Anyways, that's my theory...)
