Anything more than simply draining old oil and adding new synthetic oil (with new filter) required? dmac0923 Enthusiast Jun 3, 2008, 10:58 AM Post #2 of 3 (1084 views) Re: Synthetic OIl Sign In no. dran old oil. remove old filter. replace drain plug. install new filter. refill crankcase with synthetic. im not sure if this is an urban legend or not but i was always under the belief that once you made the switch to synthetic, you cant go back to dino oil. not sure why you would but thats what i heard. __________________________________________________ 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2002 Ford Ranger 2004 Toyota Corolla 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jun 3, 2008, 2:28 PM Post #3 of 3 (1076 views) Re: Synthetic OIl Sign In Either one is compatible and you can go back and forth if you feel like it or even mix them.
