Use whatever oil you prefer to stick with over the long run. Switching brands isn't going to hurt anything.

Switching between synthetic and nonsynthetic isn't going to hurt either. Just refill with whatever you prefer, the synthetic I suppose?

As long as you do a complete oil change, you'll be fine. Try to avoid mixing and matching oils in the crankcase at the same time, though. Then again, it probably won't hurt either.

Keep the oil full and changed regularly, and it won't make a whole lot of difference in your daily driver what you use.

I prefer to stick with Mobil 1 Synthetic, usually. Thats just personal preference.

Then again, in my truck I put in the cheapest generic oil I can find. I've even mixed weights when I was low on cash and had to buy SOMETHING.
