Default Oil Problem??

I run royal purple and I took My car to a shop to have the headers installed. They added quaker state conventional. Is there going to be any problems with those 2 oils mixing???? Help please.

No. Synthetic mixes fine with conventional as does oils of various weights; you just end up with an average of their properties. Though you've lost (or reduced) the longer change interval benefits of the synthetic. Change in 3-5k miles or whenever the RP was due for a change, whichever comes first.
