wrong oil
I run 0w40 Mobil 1 in winter and 10w30 Valvoline for the other 3 - 90 day cycles and pretty much have for the last 7 years since the engine turned 200k now at 318k and 18 years of service, but obviously the old Q45 V8 was more forgiving than modern lighter duty V6.
Success will depend on your understanding local temperatures and oil viscosity relationships.

Wong oil....?
Most anyone that has anything to do with the automotive industry is of the
opinion that once you use synthetic oil you can't go back to conventional...
and why would you? Synthetic oil is sooo much better for your VQ engines
and runs far cleaner without leaving any build up of gunk, switching back
bridges on stupidity....
Of course if you don't care how your G35
runs use whatever you want.

Just refill with synthetic on your next change - no harm done.

Absolutely nothing will happen. It's fine. You probably won't even notice the difference if the viscosities are the same/similar
