im also a believer in the fact that once you start an oil then you should stick with it. and i also have always heard when you go synthetic dont switch back? so i dunno on this.

Yeah, Once you go synthetic, you can't go back to normal oil. I don't remember why, but everyone says teh same thing.

I have used Shell Rotella-T 15W-40 for all of my oil changes and I run a Baldwin B7039 full flow filter along with an OilGuard EPS-20 bypass filter. Oilguard Superior Filtration Systems - Specializing in Bypass Filtration Systems

what i have noticed on gas engines is when you switch back to conventional oil after running synthetic for a while, the car smokes a bit probably until the synthetic gets burn out of the engine. it seems the two types of oils dont mix well. i dont know, that is my guess.

i use mobile 1 delvac and wix filters
