Oil Change Time I bought this car used so I'm not sure what type of oil was used. It has 105k and it needs an oil change. Is It too late 2 run synthetic if its been using regular? Thanks.

I no u can alternate but synthetic oils r more slippery than regular oil so and their cleaning abilities r better as well. I am just concerned that if the engine may have some minor sludge blocking a potential leak, the synthetic will clean it thus revealing a leak that otherwise would not have been there.

Oil detergency isn't related to it's ability to lubricate.
