Redline I know encourages blending their own products to produce different grades.

And that is with their own products, not products from other blenders, which is the theme of this discussion (Edge and Mobil 1).

No, it isn't, but it certainly isn't taking off on any sort of detour or tangent to mention it either. It ties into the historical discussion of the subject, something that has already been brought into the mix here, so it is far from irrelevant despite being not exactly on topic.
Every race oil formulator encourages blending, it's the only way to optimize the operational viscosity.
And yes the subject is off topic. This thread is about the compatibility of Castrol Edge 5W-30 and M1 5W-30.
