"30" weight oil in 5sp transmission???

I posted the fluid being a bit below the Min mark on my recent 5sp rebuild, looking to top it off. Per Micah's suggestion, I contacted the mechanic asking what fluid they put in. He told me straight 30 weight motor oil. I asked "10w30?" as this is what I had always seen referenced. He told me, no, straight 30.
Through a search, I did see using straight 30 mentioned. If that's what they put in, I figure it best to top off with that. Though I'd be more comfortable with the 10w30 since I see that most mentioned.
It's due to go in for a change at 1,000 miles (450 now). Should I top off with 30 now and wait, or change the whole thing out?
Thanks,
Brian
