I know we discussed this whole topic not to long ago but can't find it. But I would never mix different manufacturers chemicals like that. You are just asking for trouble since you have no idea what is in them or how they might interact.

I'd stick with one fluid or mix those from one manufacturer as they recommend for some situations like RedLine does for MTL and MT-90, etc...

Lightweight shockproof is still the best compromise IMHO unless maybe you can get your hands on the Subaru Super Special Stuff. (SSSS)
