Would it be ok/compatible to mix 5qts Magnatec 5w30 with 1qt Edge EP 5w20 or should I just run out and grab a sixth quart of the Magnatec. The vehicle calls for 5w20 so I'm not concerned about the Edge thinning out the Magnatec. This is in an 08 Mazda CX-9 w/ 90k miles. Thanks.
Magnatec / Edge EP Blend OK?

I mix Magnatec often- no harm
It will give it more of a synthetic body

Mix them, no problem.
Should be fine as I mix 73' era QS with 2015&2016 QSGB 10w30 and 10w40 for my jeep often
That Edge might demagnetize the Magnatec and you'd be left with an ordinary plain-jane oil.
That's very doubtful

So would Edge be your ideal choice if you HAD to blend Magntec? Are their add packs similar?

Doh!
And it's not a 10w30! Double Doh!

Are you? Didn't think so and you change oil brands too much

One of the formulators on BITOG has worked in the formulation of both, and said that edge uses similar technology to Magnatec, but the next generation, so it's clingy and all of that.
Can't vouch for the similarity, other than it's "different".
His advice for mixing (blending is what the oil manufacturers do, mixing is when you combine two already formulated oils) is to stick within product ranges, can cross viscosity grades, but stick within the product range.

Thanks! For clarification, when you say "product ranges" do you mean companies? In this case Castrol?

What could be better than Magnatec with an Edge?
