not sure about the severums but the oscars can be pretty mean they will kill just about anything that invades its space some can be fairly docile all you can do is try it and keep him well fed with low light also no live food increases aggressivness
i dont feed my fish feeders as they are expensive in the UK $4 a fish, i have fairly low lighting.
give it a try just make sure the store will take back the fish if they try to kill each other would be a nice mix
I wouldn't worry so much about aggresion as I would water quality with 4 cichlids that size in that tank.
It's duable with awesome filtration and water changes.
As far as aggression goes, I very much doubt the O would do a damned thing to the Sevs. Though, I'd keep an eye on it in case One of the Sevs decides to be an ass.

i watched my red o break the back on a pleco pushed him right out of the tank some can be pretty bad.

ive always had oscars and they have always been the bit*hes of the tank. my oscars have never done a thing to my other fish even when they are twice the size. dont worry about the oscars. if your oscar killed a pleco, i dont believe it first of all, but if he did it was because you had a lack of space. no other reason. get a bigger tank. 100 gal is more then enough for an oscar and a couple severums. like hijinx and fry said. just keep up your water changes. my 220 is packed with fish but i do a 50% water change every other day and everyone stays happy. and on top of that i have it next to a window and keep the light on and never worry about algea.
OK thanks guys, my tank came and it is crap so i will be holding of the fish for a while, until i reseal it.
