Default Primary fluid

I'm leaving on a trip in the morning and I'm a little low on primary fluid , I'm running syn 3 in it now. Would it hurt any thing if I topped it off with reg HD primary oil? Thanks

You can fill primary with almost anything,I use 10W40 motorcycle oil,as long as your primary has enough oil it's OK.You can mix synthetic with regular,doesn't make a difference.,In primary you just oil the chain.
