Yes, but why? Please don't say cost. If the $10 extra dollars per oil change 4 times a year ($40 total) is really that much to you, please get a cheaper car.

If it goes up for synthetic, it'll go up for conventional as well and the price difference will still be the same. I asked you not to say it had anything to do with price. You hurt my feelings.

You can go much longer with real oil than the crap we put in our cars. Synthetic can go at least 5K before you need to change it. Realistically the filter is the weak part of the system.

I go 5K between changes and I'm turbo.

If you are interested in extended oil change intervals, then stay with synthetic. Otherwise, yes you can switch back to dino based oils. It will not cause a problem.

If you really want to stay with synthetic, but are having consumption problems, then maybe play around with brands.
