Do I have to continue using synthetic oil?

I did an oil change on my 2006 Chevy Silverado and used synthetic oil, I'm just wondering if i have to continue using synthetic oil in future oil changes.Do I have to continue using synthetic oil?
no you don't have to use synthetic oil, you can change to regular oil anytime you want when you get the oil and filter changed.Do I have to continue using synthetic oil?
You should always use a synthetic oil. I don't even know why they make regular oil anymore, except for use in Mazda rotary engines. The synth oil lasts longer, protects better, and continues to clean the engines vitals inside as you drive. It pretty much keeps your PCV system clean and gives the best gas mileage. A good syth oil like Mobil One, Amzoil, or ELF can last for 2 years, if your car is in tune. Just change it when it gets thick or really dark.
Synthetic is overpriced oil to me. I seen them go neck to neck in testing. When you run stock cars, we watched Synthetic fall to the waste side. These are rebuilt 350 motors in old street cars. The conventional oil was in a Oldsmobile. (Oldsmobile are known for a hotter running motor.) Synthetic only lasted 2 nights and conventional made 10 nights.





Why spend 5 bucks a quart and 1.50 does the same.
No you don't but a cheap synthetic beats a high priced conventional oil. Now if you're gonna go to a cheap conventional then so be it.





It will be absolutely fine. Don't listen to any garbage about staying with what it came with, etc. There are myths propegated by people with more opinion than knowledge.





Further, an oil change inverval of 5000 miles is much more appropriate for today's finer oils than a 3000 mile oil change is. This is good for either syn or conventional.
you will be fine. i used it in my integra for 2 years when i got it cheap working at goodyear and then stopped cuz it was too expensive to continue in a 15 year old car. but it had 140k when i started and 199k when i stopped and i had no problems
Not really...with synthetic you don't have an oil break down problem that requires more frequent oil changes...
its all good buddy
