Switching from Synthetic back to Dino oil....any problems?

Post by BlueCrush »

Does anyone know of any issues with switching from synthetic back to regular oil. The person who is buying my Vibe does their own oil changes and uses only Dino oil. Thanks.

The Whole thing will explode in exactly 2992 miles after the firt dino oil change! J/K There shouldnt be any major issues except the loss of all the benefits that Synthetic oil provides.
