I got my brakes done a while ago and the mechanic changed my oil and put in non synthetic mobil one oil. I've been putting synthetic in for a while and now what should i do? Would it be bad for me to go back to synthetic?

It should be okay, i had to do that once to perform the AutoRX treatment.

Did you advise the mechanic to change the oil? I take it you didn't or you would have specified what oil to use.

Make him refund you the cost of the initial oil change and pay to use Mobil 1.

Better yet, get your money back and do it yourself, along with a decent oil filter.

Don't worry about it, it won't kill the car like some homos think. Change back to synthetic at 3k....

Dino oil is good for more than 3k, particularly in the summer if you are putting on more highway miles or more miles in general.

Get rid of the dino juice and go back to synthetic.

Yea, change the dino out after 3K+ and call it a day. In the Grand Scheme of Life it won't hurt it by leaving in the dino.
