Oil question...

A friend took their truck in for an oil change at a quick change place. She wanted synthetic and has used synthetic in the past however this time they put regular in instead of synthetic...

Will this cause harm to the engine and what should be done. Will it be ok until her next change to put synthetic back in???


Thanks

To answer your question, no it won't damage the engine. It will be fine until the next oil change.

If you paid for synthetic, go back. Otherwise, wait 3000 to 5000 miles and get the good juice on the next go-round. Don't change synthetic as often. I go about 5000 miles at least with my Mobil 1.
