Don't convulse!
The spin, agony, and endless masturbatory debate over oil type is VASTLY overdone and unwarranted.
Keep the dino oil for 2500-3000 miles, then change it out.
Don't fall for the oil-nerd debate, which is LARGELY based in useless trivia that has minimal to zero impact on daily drivers.
DINO OIL WILL NOT KILL YOUR ENGINE! No no no no, NOT.
Stop the madness.
The 5W40 Castrol oil will still work well, and your engine will NOT suffer!
The science of the subject is on the order of debating whether Ginko improves your memory. You can find long scientific articles that both, equally, "prove" the findings or debunk the findings. Same with the oil controversy.
Synthetic oil came into the general commercial market 15-20 (?) years ago.
So what do you think happened before that?? Did cars die? Nyet.
(It's like that religious question -- "If you lived in ancient times BEFORE Christianity was discovered, would you be allowed into heaven??")
BTW, the religious debate, in general, is similar to the oil debate! Opinion, supported by facts -- depending on which facts you decide to believe.
As far as car manufacturer recommendations for the oil to use -- FERGETT ITT.
The recommendations are largely commercially negotiated with the oil companies -- a business deal, much like stickers on racing cars -- the oil companies PAY for the privilege of getting their product promoted. I can't believe that people ACTUALLY believe that this is not true!
Look at the thousands who use Royal Purple, Brad Penn, etc etc etc oils. They are not recommended, but still they are highly touted. Well, according to the car builder, even these high priced oils should NOT be used.
