I put the wrong oil in my gxp

Was just changing my oil. Had to run to grab an extra quart and a filter as i already had the 5+ quart jug laying around. So i now have 5.28 qts of the correct 5w30 (fukk syn) and .73 qt of 5w50. Im an idiot. I dont plan to do anything about as I dont think its that big of a deal? However i do realize im an idiot. Do i have anything to be worried about?

I usually run 0w40 in my camaro. There have been many occasions when the car is low and I only have my hondas 5w20 around. So I have to top it off with that sometimes. Its really not a big deal.

I used T6 once, it was alright, better than Mobil 1, not as good as Royal Purple.

I use Pennzoil Ultra in the 944 and will in the CRX.

O/T it's fine, you'd be surprised how much ignorance there is down here, people putting 10w30 and 10W40 (non synthetic) in a car that takes 0W20.

They're still running around so you're fine.
