I use synthetic shell helix ultra 5w40.
Just after 2-3 weeks I checked and dipstick was below the minimum mark, so I had a complete hard attack on the spot. I needed to drive so I filled up 5w40 castrol edge (blimin £12 per litre - Asda emergency)
Anyway my question is how damaging is this for the engine? I had no access to shell at that particular time.
So it was either... drive risking it, or fill up different brand.
I don't fancy wasting it and purchasing fresh oil unless it will harm the engine badly.
