If you don't know what's in it, I'd recommend changing the filter and all of the oil.

Several of us use Chevron Delo 15w/40 diesel oil with good results. 

Others use 20w/50 Valvoline VR-1, Torco, Royal Purple, Joe Gibbs... 

Use something that you can get locally and get a little extra to keep on hand when needed.
