YES! Get a good quality synthetic in there ASAP! I suggest you seafoam the crankcase as well to help clean out any sludge the dino-oil might have left behind, and use a upper end quality synthetic, Amsoil, Royal Purple, etc.

Dino's fine, but if you want to spend the extra $$$$, you can awitch to a synthetic any time you want.
Seafoam, another waste of time and money!
