While I wouldn't reccomend mixing oils, they will both be the same weight when hot, so you should be ok. I just hope that you didn't mix synthetic and non-synthetic.

You should be ok. If you are THAT WORRIED, just change it.

Don't worry about it at all.

if that's the only problem you ever have, you're one lucky guy. haha don't worry about it. It'll be fine. You can change it, if it really bothers you though.
