    You've got three out of three (make it 4 of 4) telling you that blending straight weight oils is OK, but that blending multi-viscosity oils (your 1 in 5 volume) is not recommended, because the multi-vis oils have additives that may not play well together.

    Like Matthyj says, you'd do well to change your oil sooner than later, even if your pressure is good.
