You can go straight to synthetic and you can go straight back to regular mineral oil if you want, it does not matter. In laymans term you could say that synthetic oil is just the 'best' molecules that mineral oil has in it.

That's incorrect. What information or experience led you to that conclusion?

namby pamby standards are like boo hoo you can't switch from synthetic to non synthetic and you cant swim until an hour after you eat, and h22 trannys suck, and you can't shake an infant... well, that last one might be ok to follow. lol
