aww... You are stuck with synthetic forever!
Just Kidding! There is no problem switching back and forth. This is one of the synthetic oil myths.

synthetic oil to conventional oil
my sht box needed oil change
I stopped by Mr lube after work
guy asked me what kind oil so I just threw him the last work order form Midas and went for coffe.
when I came back to pay, total came out to 80+
I was like wtf kinda oil change cost 80+? he said he used synthetic oil cuz that what I used from Midas last time...
that can't be cuz midas only changed me 40
I looked at midas work order and it says synthetic blend?
anyway, he sai synthetic should be good for 8000km(true?) so I figured it works out to be same as two conventional oil change, costs about the same.
I was too tired to argue so I paid and came home
can I go back to conventional oil on next change?Last edited by importpsycho; Apr 6th, 2009 at 09:07 PM.

Wow. $80 that's insane. Think that cost more than stealers.
And no problem switching using synthetic once a while. I've been doing it for years. NP._______________
