You shouldn't but in a pinch you could. Just make sure it's all full synthetic oil that gets put in. But don't put any old synthetic oil in there when you have access to mobil 1. Like I said you could in a pinch.

Why would you be mixing them? As others have said, if you need to add oil to your car and all you have is conventional, there will be no harm in using it. However, I can't think of any other reason why someone would want to intentionally mix the two.

i know i meant that i was adding mobil 1 synthetic oil to some other non-synthetic brand of oil that was in the car already b/c i checked my oil dipstick this morning and i wiped it off and noticed that it was kinda of low and then i just simply added some synthetic oil to it.

That will be perfectly fine - nothing to worry about.
