Default oil change

I was wondering if any of you have switched from syn oil back to regular, and if there is anything to worry about? - Thank You

If your engine has high mileage and shows signs of leaking oil, no.

If its fairly new, you could get away with it.

Thanks for the input. I was talking more from going from synthetic oil back to regular. My car only has 6500 miles and I want to go back to reg oil...is this a problem?

He already answered the question how basic can one make it?
Do you have many miles? no? then you could probaby get away with it.
Do you have many miles? yes? don't ******* do it.

You have 6500 miles and you already changed out the factory oil, put in synthetic, and are already changing the oil again?

Thanks for sharing the extent of the pole up your backside. I simply wanted a more specific answer. The only dumb question is the one not asked while trying to get a new engine because of a stupid oil error. i am trying to avoid such problem.Thanks for your input.
