question Is it ruined or just fine?

I recently started an oil painting via the rub out method using zinc yellow, raw umber, a bit of mars black and linseed oil I was very happy with the nice verdaccio underpainting, when to my horror, I saw the label of the linseed oil I had just purchase in haste. "Water mixable linseed oil" it read. Obviously I'm not up on the current "water mixable oil" craze and just grabbed the first linseed oil I came to and ran to the register, then off to the studio.

Will this dry like a regular linseed oil? Should I switch to a regular linseed oil, or stick with the same one? I used it with regular oil paint, will this affect it's outcome? And the, GULP, big question, Do I need to START OVER!???

Thanks in advance!
