I just topped mine up with a semi-synthetic and it seems to have worked.  The viscosity shouldn't matter, but it's easier to top up than to do a complete change.  See how it goes.  If it doesn't change then do a complete change with a full petroleum or semi-synthetic.  I happened to use Yamalube (Yamaha) 5w-40 semi-synthetic, under $10/qt.  Here are those links I mentioned about oil:
