I went from synthethic blend to regular (asked on the forum if this was ok...way back then).

Engine does feel a bit more harsh, but nothing severe.

switching from synthetic to regular does nothing bad to your engine, its all a myth. you just loose the benifits (smooth running) of synthetic.

Yeah. . you don't realize it as much going from regular to synthetic. . But going the other way . you'll feel it.

Is it a big enough deal to use synthetic? What's the main benefits?
