I personally think switching between synthetic and non-synthetic oil is fine. I use Supertech Synthetic 10w-30.

Switching doesnt matter, If you want too run the best oil then run a synthetic as long as it isnt quaker state or penzoil. Also you wont have to change it as often so it all evens out in the end.

Its basically all the same..... With the question your asking, your only gonna get people's "personal choices" as an answer.

I run Castrol GTX conventional in the stang. I had problems when I switched (Mobil 1) to synthetic in my Dodge with leaks. I have used Amsoil synthetic in my truck for the last 2 changes. I really like the amsoil compared to the Mobil 1 and the Motorcraft synthetic blend I had before. Mothe the motorcraft and mobil came out black, where thte amsoil did not. The truck only has 21K on it now, and I have religiously changed oil since new.
