I've been running synthetic in my 00 Lude SH for about 15k miles. I know that synthetic's run through the rings much quicker than standard oil does - and I'm burning up about a quart every 2k miles.

What harm am I risking switching back to regular oil after 15k miles of synthetic?

Advice?

And no - I'm not going to sleeve it, no I'm not going to put in Type S pistons, no I'm not looking for any advice other than can I go back to regular oil and if so - what problems would I potentially be looking at.

Thanks H-T !

 

youll be fine switching back to regular

i thought after you've been running synthetic you shouldnt switch back to regular because of potential oil leaks like crazy... maybe thats just after a certain mileage cause i've heard it quite a bit. correct me if im wrong

 

you'll be fine

 

What kind of oil were you running? Brand/weight?

That myth is probably made up by the same person that said that you must change all worn tires when getting a new alignment.
