Default Synthetic Oil

I use Mobile synthetic oil on my S2K, but my friend told me that once I run on synthetic I can't go back on non-synthetic oil. Is that true? What will happen if I use non-synthetic oil onthe next oil change? Thanks a bunch

Well, he'll pay less. That's something.

Putting synthetic into your car isn't like getting married. You can go back to your old squeeze anytime you like.

A few of my honda buddies put 5w30 Mobil 1 in their cars...

I use 10w30... would 5w30 be a better choice??

Thanks!

Only use 10W30 in the S2000. So what if your buddies use 5W30...Honda Engineers say to use 10W30 in the S2000 nothing else. I think they know more than what your buddies do

Like I said, I use 5W30 only in winter where I can get close to -40 degrees overnight. If you have cold winters, this won't hurt but you should certainly be using 10W30 for NON-winter application.

I bought Mobil 1 5-30W by accident. First time change oil on my S2K, but I think that I should change to 10-30 since Sacramento CA is not too cold in the winter.
