Nearing change oil - have you mixed oil ?
Didn't realize i'm almost at 5000 miles. I bought some Mobil 1 0w-30 but when I went back to the store, they only have 5w-30 .... I'm just gonna mix both 0W-30 and 5W-30 ... is that OK? Will Audi allow that ????

You can safely mix dino & synthetic, too - that's what they do in the blends.
It just reduces the effectiveness of the synthetic oil.
However, mixing different brands and types of oil is generally not recommended because the result may be worse than each individual oil by itself. But I wouldn't worry about using a little dino as makeup oil for a synthetic fill - although of course using synthetic would be better.
