Mixing engine oil

Does it matter if you mix brands of oil in the 7.3? If your changing brands and you have 2 quarts left over, do you use them or avoid doing that. Silly question I know.

Not a silly question at all if it makes you have some reassurance or peace about your decision.

Mixing oil brands is no problem at all. Mixing weights should be avoided, but would not cause any failure or catastrophic event if it took place.
