Can I change to synthetic at 42,000 miles?
Hey,
I am in need of some more oil and after reading the various posts on this website I am going to try a change to synthetic.
I was just wondering if I can safely start to use this now the car has done 42,000 miles. I read on one post that synthetic is best used earlier rather than later. Is it too late for me?
Also, can I just start to top the car up with synthetic or do I need to do a full oil change so it is either running all mineral or all synthetic?
Thanks in advance!

Of course you can. You can change to synthetic at even 150,000 miles. But why would you want to?
Topping off now, topping off later, doesn't really matter. But why not wait until the oil change to synthetic and topping off after that with synthetic? Why start topping off with synthetic now?
This question has been asked many times before.
