synthetic oil
Original Message   Apr 17, 2005 5:57 pm
You can go from petroleum based oil to synthetic but not from synthetic back to petroleum. I am told that if you go back to the petroleum, significant engine damage can occur. does anyone know why this is a problem?

Thanks, chris

I have gone back and forth in cars over the years and never had a problem.  I do try to stay with syn once I start no doubt.
