I don't use synthetic oils simply because I change mine too often ... every 3K miles.

[QUOTE=danny2001xlt]...if I DO CHANGE BACK TO REGULAR WOULD IT BE SAFE FOR MY ENGINE?./QUOTE] What makes you think it wouldn't be!? Most synthetic oil is compatible with mineral (dino) oil. Go get some Rotella T 15w-40 at Wal-Mart and have at it.
