What happens when you mix synthetic and regular? I hear people say that, but none of them can give me a reason other than "you're not supposed to"

I always use Castrol Syntec blend 10W-30. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Syntec blend half synthetic and half regular?

Yeah i have heard that is okay to do too.... a poor mans syntheic blend.... 3 quarts normal 1 quart pure synethic. Costs an extra 4 bucks but it will save 5 or 6 bucks on 4 quarts of synthitc blend.
