after changing out the factory fill, the dealership used valvoline synthetic. I now have a strong smell of gas on the dipstick and when smelling inside the oil fill hole. Is it okay to step up to 5w-30?

drove about 3 to 4 hours yesterday and today and the oil level has gone down to where it was when i got my oil changed 1000 miles ago. right in the middle of the low and high points. was about 1 mm above the high point yesterday morning and it reeked. still smells a little bit like gas but much less so. so that's good news. at least it's not steadily going up. appears to be burning off. i did a high rpm pull last week and hit fuel cut so maybe it dumped a bunch of fuel into the cylinders when it cut spark. not sure how this ECU manages fuel cut/redline.
