WHY? Sounds off wall to me.
Why? The oils by themselves are excellent.
Go all Pennzoil Plat and get the 5 quart jugs at for cheap, 3 jugs = 2 oil changes + all top off needed

Why not? What's off the wall about it? And if both are excellent by themselves, then aren't they going to be excellent mixed? If the OP is looking for a Pennzoil blend and can't find Gold anywhere, I think his proposed mix is a logical way to make one.

Single bottles are ridulously overpriced. If you can get near a Wal-Mart, do some pricing on the 5 quart jug and add a single quart of PYB if you're going to do any blending.
Pennzoil 5-20 is a blend.
Yea if i was only going to buy 1 oil change and i didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for the last 6th quart i would go with a 5 quart jug of something like the PP and then grab any quality quart to finish topping off the sump.
5 qt PP + 1 qt PYB would be a cheap way to do 1 oil change, but like i said 3 of the 5 quart jugs = 2 oil changes + top offs for around $65

Cheez.Just buy some Penzoil of your flavor and change the oil.

Dont play the Chemist role here. It`s totally unnecessary.

Wasting money, it might be cheaper to go fully synthetic since you can get an oil change deal.
Or if you must have a blend, Valvoline makes a nice one.
Not that I say anything is wrong with what you are thinking. I mix oils sometimes, it's no biggie.

And lets not forget the Motorcraft blend.

+1 to MOTORCRAFT syn blend...along with its Conoco/Phillips syn blend cousins, e.g. Kendall GT-1, TropArtic, etc.

After talking to a buddy of mine last night I have changed my mind and I agree with the thought that you shouldn't mix conventional and synthetic motor oils. Stick with one or the other or let the companies do the blending for you. My buddy told me he tried the 50/50 mix of a very popular name brand synthetic and conventional last year. The oils were only 5w30 but he said that after only a few hundred miles the oil was still clean but it had developed a medium syrup like viscosity and he had to drain it. He said his oil pressure had never gone higher but he just didn't like the looks of the oil as it was draining. Bottom line, save your money and stick with straight conventional or straight synthetic. DO NOT MIX THE TWO IMHO.
