It's the "read your fucking owner's manual" light

In all seriousness, mixing and matching oils is bad. All oils have different chemicals in them ("oil" is not a homogenous fluid) and mixing can cause frothing of the oil and will break down the oil and change the viscosity and lubricity of the oil too. IMHO if this really happened, change the oil ASAP
