    It's ok if they're all exactly the same (brand, viscosity, type, etc). Probably NOT if it's a mix of different brands of oil.

    From a practical standpoint, I think it should be alright. I'm just a bit of a purist with vehicle lubes.

    My car uses up x.5 litres so I ask the casa to give me the .5 excess and I bring that on my next oil change.

    no, they do not turn into engine-destroying evil oils, when mixed together.
    the oils can be used against each other, mix and match style.
    just be sure they all individually satisfy the engine's requirement specifications.
