Am I ok to top up old oil? - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Just checked my oil on the GTR32 and it's just below the LOW mark on the dipstick

Will I be ok just topping it up with a decent synthetic 5w40? Is it ok to mix brands of oil (no idea what's in at the mo) and top up older stuff with new? I'll be doing a full fluids change shortly so this is just a stop-gap until then.
