Default Mixing Aeroshell 100 with 100 Plus?

I've searched high and low for an answer to this question but have not found anything in writing yet. I'm pretty sure it's OK to do, but does anyone know for sure or have a reference from Lycoming or Shell?

Somehow I ended up with a half case of each and would like to use it all up.

All approved oils can be safely mixed! weights, brands, etc.

That's part of the specification requirements.

And mixing these two particular grades is an economical way to get the benefits of the 100+ additives, without spending the $$ for all 100+ oil. Done it for many, many years.
