synthetic oil?

When i bought my car the guy before me put royal purple in it and said if you can put synthetic oil in it but if you go back to regular oil that it is not good on the motor is this true? I have been putting the royal purple in i just was wondering if it would screw up my engine if i put regular oil in it

Re: synthetic oil?

no, but since it's running good on synthetic, you might as well keep running synthetic as it lasts longer and works better.
