Its almost time for me to do my next oil change and recently i've bought a couple jugs of Castrol Syntec synthetic oil because there was a good deal on them. I just wanted to know is it aight to mix two kinds of oil (mobil 1 and castrol syntec) for my oil change since I still have some mobil 1 left from my previous oil change? Btw their both 5w-30.

You should be fine.
That is the whole reason for the API ratings on oil.
The US military developed oil to where it is today.
They wanted to do exactly what you want to do in emergency situations. So long story short you can mix oils so long that they are the same ratings.
Hope this helps.
