Probably a stupid oil question but here it goes...

Can you mix (if they're both synthetic) 5w30 with 10w30?

Yes

Not a stupid question. You could mix them, even if one was synthetic, and the other was not.

i've always wondered about this myself. Kinda like mixing skim with a little 2% huh?

And this WON'T ruin your sh*t and/or void any warranties???
