All right to go from full synthetic motor oil to synthetic blend motor oil?

I work for a lube distributor. It is fine to go from synthetic to synthetic blend. Here's the difference: No manufacturer will actually release how much synthetic is in their synthetic blend formula. It may actually be closer to a conventional oil than a synthetic oil. The benefit of synthetic is that it offers better protection for your vehicle/ machinery. The secret is that it only makes a true difference if you're one of those people who doesn't change your oil regularly. If you choose to go synthetic blend, make sure you keep up with how often you change your oil!
