I noticed it was low on oil and I was in a rush to fix my tractor so I
added 4 litres of 10W30 motor oil that I had on hand to get it to the
proper level. Is this ok or have I done something stupid?

Having been in the middle of restoring an American Tool Works lathe
which had EVERY wick and oil passage packed off with hardened gunk
(might have been older waxy oil, solidifying in the wicks), I'd urge you
to get it out as soon as its convienent to do so and replace it with the
right stuff.
