Going from fully syn - semi syn oil, ok??

[Jamesstone]

My clio 1.2 is due an oil change in the next few weeks, now usally i'd throw the same stuff in that i had before but a friend had some castrol 5w30 full syn oil left in his garage when i did my last oil change so we through that in... now at just over 8,500 miles later on i've been looking at oils and fully syn is double the price of fully syn so my question is will it be ok to go bk to semi syn or is it a big no no?

Thanks,
James

Fully synthetic is double the price of fully synthetic? U drunk Foooooooooooooooooooool! :S

I work for renault and we normally put in 10w40 so yea i suppose as long as u drain the 5w30 out puttin semi synthetic in wont do any damage at all

dont use anything rated 30 in a clio, its too thin, its mainly for ford zetec engines

fully synthetic is more expensive because its better, a lot better in some cases but depends what you buy and how you drive the car
