Hey guys, I have been running 10w30 synthetic for a couple of years now. Today i went to get my oil changed and they fucked up and put regular 10w30. I was in a rush so i didn't notice until i checked the receipt after i got to work... I usually fill up my car every month or so since it has a small leak and have 10w30 synthetic at home to do so. My question is, what should I do since they put regular oil this time? Should I just buy some regular 10w30 and fill it up with that or can I use the synthetic i got at home? On the other hand, should I just go back and try to have them just redo it with synthetic all over? Is there anything wrong with having run synthetic for so long and all of a sudden go to regular? My car has 160,000 miles on her btw.

Ok now I'm all confused while trying to figure what happened here...is there such a thing as a Mobil 1 10w30 NON synthetic? or are all Mobil 1's synthetic? This shop uses only Mobil oil and I am pretty sure while they were putting the oil they used the 10w30 Nozzle.. but on the receipt they charged me 30 bucks which is the price for a regular change and it just lists: M1030 Mobil 10w30 So I'm trying to see if either a)I got regular Mobil 1 "non synthetic" or b) they did use mobil 1 (synthetic) and just fucked up and charged me for a regular change... I guess I wanna make sure I dont go bitching later on and turns out they did put the right poil but undercharged me...

I know Mobil makes conventional oils, but I believe "Mobil1" is strictly synthetic. The conventional oils they produce are under the name "Mobile 7500" or something of that nature.
Either way, I don't see the harm in having conventional in there for a little while. It's not nearly the crisis situation as some might have you think.

I know lol. People think that oil is the biggest issue ever sometimes. Don't worry about it Louis.
OK, cool, thanx...just making sure it's all good. Guess I'll just let it be but change it after 3k instead of 5k which i do with the synthetic one..to be on the safe side.
