Ok to mix oil brands?
Changing the oil on a Cub Cadet 1250.
In a rush, I ordered just 1 quart of Kohler 30W Oil.  Looks like the capacity is 1.5 qt, so I'm short. Would it be bad if I went down to the auto part store and got some 30W of another brand and added it? Don't want to have to wait for delivery of another quart of the Kohler oil. Edit: Another option - My local TSC has Kohler 10W-30 Synthetic-Blend Premium Oil I guess I could just drain the Kohler 30W conventional oil I just added, then replace with the Kohler 10W-30 Synthetic-Blend from TSC. Getting two new quarts ($6.50 each) of that would cost about the same as ordering the Kohler 30W conventional online again ($13). Thoughts?

I have in a pinch....that being said my engine is a 60/40 engine. (burns 60% gas 40% oil) If I had a recent rebuild on it I would be more hesitant to do so.
It's far worse to run it with low or without any oil at all.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
