Default Switching back and forth with synthetic oil
If I decided to switch to synthetic oil with my new car, is it ok to switch back to dino for 1 oil change? I have my oil changes done at Jiffy lube type places and wondering if there will be any problems if I accidentally forget to mention to use synthetic on an oil change. Not the plan to. Just wondering if its a problem.
