Can you switch brands of synthetic oil?

I use Mobil synthetic oil in my '98 CRV. I live out in the country and the closest place uses Valvoline synthetic. Will it hurt my engine to switch or should I travel the extra hour to a place that will use Mobil?Can you switch brands of synthetic oil?

Switching brand names should not make too much of a difference, but the blends might. Be sure that if you are using full sythetic now, stick to full synthetic. Keep it as similiar to the current oil as possible and you should be fine.
I would stay with Mobil 1. It is a Group IV basestock oil (PAO)





Vavoline SYN is a Group III basestock which is molecular re-structured petroleum stock that is considered synthetic. It is a very good oil, much better than conventional but the PAO's are superior products.
It would be fine to use another brand of synthetic, it is more or less your choice what to do. Sometimes oil comes with a big PRICE!! and it is the same no matter what brand you buy. You will probably actually save some money going with the Valvoline, as Mobile is some of the highest priced oil out there.!!!!
As long as the SAE rating of the two oils is the same, no problem. The rating can be found on the container.
