You can switch back and forth all you want and you can even mix them together.

You hear stuff like that all the time, but if you think about it, it makes more since that its your seals that need to be replaced if you get a leak, not that you are switching which oil you use. I have switched back and forth a few times when for numerous dumb reasons (not enough cash on me for synthetic or I just didn't give a shit) and I have never had a leak because of it.

i use Castrol GTX 5w-20 (conventional) and half a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil® filled a quart low over all.

more important than syn/reg is the weight. run whatever your engine calls for, or your rings will suffer. also make sure it meets the manufacturers required specs.
