Long story short, I just changed the oil in my 95 TSi

Oil capacity is 4.7 quarts, I used 1 gallon of Valvoline 10w-30 and for the last ~.7 quart, I accidentally used plain sae 30 Valvoline.

Since the manual says 5w-30 is recommended (I used 10w because it's been so hot), and I used 10w-30 for the majority of the oil, shouldn't I be fine because it will mix up, or do I need to drain it and refill with all 10w-30?

I'm pretty sure I'm okay, but I need to hear what the wisemen have to say about my mistake.
