I have witnessed some really big problems by mixing different lubricants. One in particular comes to mine is when I drove a truck hauling oil field equipment. One of the truckers believed in STP to the point I think he used it on his pancakes. I watched him pour it in the front hubs one morning while we were loading pipe. I was second in the convoy with him in the lead and after 300 miles down the road he pulled over and got out and shock the front wheels about 4 inches at the top. Needless to say we had to get a cutting torch to get the races off the spindles. I've seen some transmissions that looked the same way by mixing oils.
