I have a scheduled oil/filter change in two weeks, but i think i need to add some oil as its very low. I dont know what oil is in it now, will it be a big no-no if the oil is mixed full/semi..

i would use semi..... just to be safe

if you only need a little bit - like 250 mls i think then buying a 5 litre pot would be a good idea before your oil change....

Can you mix different brands if the parameters stay the same (ie 10W 40 semi or whatever)?

It's pretty much unavoidable so I'd say yes too.
