Of course you can but when you do you are changing the viscosity of the oil. Your engine requires a certain weight or viscosity of oil. Use only the weight oil recommended by the manufacture.

You should never MIX different weights of oil. The above answer is correct, but if you find yourself in one of those unavoidable situations where you have no choice, go ahead and mix whatever you have to. It's better for the crankcase to be full than to have exactly the right oil in it. If it really grabs at your conscience, change the oil and filter as soon as you can.
