Change it before you start it up again, use some sort of engine flush (i.e. seafoam or BG, Iuse the engine flush right before every oil change) andrun it, and change it again.

i wouldn't engine flush it with antifreeze in it..flush makes the oil really thin as it is..change the oil put some cheap oil in it flush it then use your oil and filter that you desire

Correct me if I'm mistaken but that's exactly whatIjustsaid...

Drain oil, go buy some cheap *** oil and filter. Run it for a few miles, and then put your desired oil and filter.
