Default Okay to combine synthetic and regular ATF fluid? (on a Chrysler T&C)

Hopefully somebody can chime in quickly. We're about to leave for a trip this weekend and I checked the fluids in our 2000 Chrysler Town & Country van. The ATF is definately low. Now I know how sensetive the transmission in these van's can be. I have 2 quarts of Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF (Mercon V, so it should work). But I'm just trying to quickly see if this would have any adverse affects.

I know it probably needs a whole flush, but I just need to add some ATF for the trip!

Just add some of the same type of fludis, try to not mix them as these trannys are pretty sensitive. Flush after your trip.

Use a ATF+4 fluid, Wal-Mart even has the OEM Mopar fluid.
