Any problem switching back from synthetic oil?
Is there any reason why I should not switch back to regular oil?
The car is for sale, and needs an oil change.

No, not really. Synthetic oils are ok to use/mix with regular oil.

Actually, it says right in the owners manaul...

"Do not mix mineral based and synthetic type oils in
the engine at the same time."

Found on page 10-5 (2k edition).
