Mike, gas and oil do not mix..change the oil Asap, the foaming could get worse and things wont be lubricated and it's possible that it could seize up..

if it only slips at high rmp, you may be ok by just changing the oil. we have run into the same thing using full synthetic oil, soon as we changed it back, no adjustment was needed.
