Oil is essentially about viscosity or thickness of the oil involved, it wont hurt the car to mix your oil but you would be best sticking to the manufacturers recommended oil viscosity. If you are topping up your oil regularly, there is more wrong with the car anyway, so dont start worrying about oil quality.

Mix it with what???
Flour to make chocolate cakes????
You can mix oil although it's not recommended ...if you're just toping up because you have a leak then it's fine ... if you're doing a service you want to replace all the old oil with fresh

You can mix different weights together.
You can also put transmission fluid in the oil.
But don't run it like that for a long time.
The training fluid will clean the engine
before you change the oil.

you canot mix two types of oil with different properties. However, you may mix two different brand with the same property in an emergency.

I dont think so, thats why you drain it before you put new oil in.
