Can you switch between regular motor oil and synthetic oil?

Only if the engine has low miles or no sludge build up - synthetic oil captures the carbon within its molecules and if there is to much carbon buildup (sludge) it will release the carbon into the molecules of the synthetic oil and run it through the engine - once the filter is bypassing there is nothing to keep the "liquid sandpaper" from wiping out the bearings.


Why does my 86 Caprice engine keep running after you shut it off?

This effect is called dieseling and occurs when you have a buildup of leaking oil and sludge in the piston chambers. This buildup is red-hot during ignition, and is slow to cool down. While still red-hot after shutdown, it continues to ignite gas fumes being drawn into the engine.Thus the motor continues to run for a short time.
