If its just for an emergency to get you home, then it really doesn't matter
that much, even if adding synthetic to non-synthetic Go for the oil with
the highest 2nd number. In other words 5W-30 rather than 5W-20. Oil for
diesels has much more detergent.

Then do a full oil change =E2=80=A6.after consulting all the previous reams=
 of
comments about 'which oil should I use'. ;)

FWIW i now use Mobil 1 fully synthetic 5W-60.
