First off, I would say no problem mixing brands. The oil manufacturer either meets the Mercon V spec or they don't. But I'm not an expert so I'm happy to bump you ttt for a better answer.

My own question is who the hell sells it in bulk? Pep Boys only carries 6 quarts on the shelf (2 different brands), VatoZone has none at the moment, nobody seems to have it in bulk. Who sells gallons or has a good quart price? Cheapest I've seen so far is Pep Boys @ $4.50/qt. (I'm in West Los Angeles, btw.) When did Merc V become unobtanium?
