Default Changing Brand of Oil

I have been running Mobil 1 synthetic 5W30 in my car. Does it make any difference (bad for car) if you change brands for each oil change, as long as you stay synthetic.

Thanks

No it's fine, i think the rule is you should stay synthetic. I usually buy whatever is on sale, i use castrol syntec, mobile 1, and penzoil platinum.

M1 didn't show great results in the analysis. I've used Amsoil and German Castrol Syntec. I like both of em.

I used to burn M1 for some reason.

M1 changed there formula a few years ago. A much thinner oil these days.
