Safe switching to synthetic oil???

smokeshow · February 19th, 2008, 09:28 PM

Hi, I have an 04 GT with roughly 15,000 miles on it. I got it with 9,000 miles on it and had put regular 5w20 oil in it but I am wanting to switch to a 5w20 full synthetic by royal purple. I was wondering, with the engine being used since I have had it with regular oil in it, will it hurt the engine switching over to using full synthetic from now on?
