There is no reason to dump it; it will be fine.
If you intend to run a "normal" OCI, then just use it and never look back. This will be a waste of the lube, but you'd not be the first to do so.
If you intend to run an extended OCI, to get the value out of the lube, then by all means do so! Just make sure to run a UOA once you get past the OEM OCI, to gage the progress of the lube. Being such a wide spread, the VII pack will break down fairly quickly in the HEUI, but that does not mean wear will jump up. Keep an eye on things and just stay informed.
