It was raised on non-synthetic. All the sludge in there is non-synthetic. The general theory is that synthetic oil and dinosaur oil don't mix properly and can cause clogging problems down the road.


truth

you only "switch" to synthetic on a NEW motor

right, so if you not sure whats in there you go with a semi synthetic aka 'synthetic blends' they are blends of mineral oil with no more than 30% synthetic oil



that's what you want to use if you have no idea, Quaker State and Castrol are the 2 brands I have seen that have the most options



and then when its time to change the oil, get a paint pen or a sharpie and write it on the underside of the hood or core support/ some where so u don't forget what you used


Also if you buy your oil and filter at a parts store, most of them have window stickers they'll give you (they look a lot like the ones you'd get at a lube shop). I get mine at O'Reilly and they have 'em. You just fill in the blanks with oil info and mileage.
