Can I switch between Synthetic and Regular Oil?
Can I switch between Synthetic and Regular Oil?
K, I run synthetic oil right now, but acura owes me a free oil change because they screwed up on a service call.
So my question is will I screw up my engine if I take this free oil change with regular oil and then after 3000 km, diy my oil oil change back to synthetic?

Not at all. There was a thread regarding synthetics vs. regular in general here. Might not want to use regular oil for more than 2000 miles.
On a side note, if you switch from DOT 3/4 brake fluid to DOT 5, don't switch back. JIC.

Ask your dealer to put in syn instead and you just pay the difference.
