no one has mentioned the issues associated with mixing oil types...

Changing type of oil is a sure way to glaze the bore and lose compression.

# establish the present oil type
# continue to use same oil
# keep present performance
or
# ignore oil type previously used
# mix oil types
# glaze bore necessitating glaze busting
# lose performance as rings lose sealing capacity
# come back here and ask how to get performance back
# wade through the carp when asking about/discussing glaze busting equipment and useage

- my oil choice for practise engines = use gtx, change when oil feels thin.(monitor compression and refresh rings and valve seats when compression drops).
