Never mixed brands before as never needed to.

have heard the M1 EURO has higher amount of Calcium that tend to clog up catalytic converters over time
You are mixing stuff up here.

Full-SAPS oils have higher amounts of phosphorous, which can poison catalysts if you have an engine that consumes a lot of oil.
