Yes, there is no problem mixing two brands of oil, as long as they are both the correct specification for your car.

Any semi synthetic will mix with fully synthetic. But if your changing the oil and dilter, just put the one type in. If your adding magnatec to oil already in the sump it't not going to work fully and you might aswell use cheaper stuff on this occasion.

perfectly fine, mixing brands doesnt matter, keeping the grade the same is all that matters.

Different brands of oil are not recommended to be mixed, although the importance is that they are of the same grade.

As turbos are so common now (especially on diesels) all Castrol products are developed for use in turbocharged engines. Obviously the normal requirement of the oil needing to meet the appropriate specification for the particular vehicle still applies.
The only caveat is that turbos can be relatively easily modified to boost performance significantly and any vehicle where a turbo system has been added or modified needs to be treated as a special case - we would normally be thinking about Edge Sport 0W-40 or, in extreme cases, maybe 10W-60 for these vehicles.
