    Re: Conventional oil....hard to find, switch to synthetic?

    NAPA still carries plenty of conventional motor oils.

    While you're there, pick up a NAPA oil filter that's the same as Wix, just with a different paint job.

    You will have no issues switching over to a blend or full synthetic. This site has great info on all lubricants if you want to check them out?

    Re: Conventional oil....hard to find, switch to synthetic?

    The ONLY time I had an issue with switching from conventional to synthetic was on a car which ALREADY leaked oil. When I got married, my wife's Jeep Cherokee had lots of slow drips from multiple places. When I switched to synthetic, the drips turned into more worrisome leaks, so I switched back to conventional why we tried to find and fix all of them...never totally successful, but that's a different story.

    If I have a car with conventional oil, I typically make the switch to synthetic at the first oil change and never look back.

    I've run AMSOIL in the Camaro since I bought it with 25K miles. It now has 148,8xx K on it and no issues.
