Does anyone know if mixing different types of like size Oscars together can cause problems?

Never had a problem mixing mine. As long as there is not a major size difference and plenty of tank space, you should be ok. Of course, it all depends on the individual fish.
Never heard of any problems unless you have a very aggressive Oscar! Which doesn't tend to happen as they are commonly peaceful pigs lol. My local petsmart has a 50ish gallon bowfront tank. Hey have at least 13 oscars in there! The owner is "growing them out" but he says he's keeping them in that tank! I tried to buy them and he said no! But there are albinos,ruby reds,tigers,reds,golds,and platinum oscars in there. It's horrible!

Well Andrew at least you tried to do the right thing! I have 5 Oscars now that are about 3-4 inches. I had six the other day when my wife took a turn on feeding them and one tried to be a gymnast and ended up in the laundry basket. No she didn't even notice it was gone till I got home and told her!!! Kinda peeved about that one. Anyway! Since I lost one I want another! The only ones my LFS has in stock right now are the red Oscars. I have Tiger Oscars, regular and albino. I guess when I make the new addition I will keep a close eye on the tank for the next few days and make sure all goes well. Thanks everyone for your responses!
