Cheap off-brand oils may be just as good as store brand or known brands but haven't had their quality independently verified, so it might not be.

That's all I think I know about that.
So... even though the OP says he "knows" you can't go back-and-forth- you are saying you CAN (between regular and synthetic)?

By grade of oil- you mean, like, 10w-30, 5w-30, 5w-40 and the like?

The rest, about certification, I get.

Thank you.
