Any reason not to mix left over Stihl, Echo and Husky premix 2 stroke oils at 50/ 50 with Maxima Formula K2 synthetic in my OPE such chainsaws, blowers , weedeaters. I've decided to run K2 full time and just want to use up remaining leftovers. I'm getting the K2 at $19 a litter vs way overpriced brand names OPE oil, so I'm going this way for now on.
 
It's been a long time since I mixed any two stroke oils together. I did so in the 1980's for my 2 stroke bikes. It seemed to stay mixed without any issues.

I'd guess that it would work out OK, but ya never know.

Depends on the application- in my case I had to premix about 15-18 gallons for my Yamaha Waverunner. But in general I would say its fine to mix them together.
 
I did it several times when I changed brands. I just made sure I had the mix ratio that I wanted.
