There's nothing wrong with switching back to dino oil, if you want to. But I wouldn't do it. As DoninDel said, synthetic is superior. You can either just pull the filter without doing a full oil change, and add another quart like DoninDel said, or change your oil as frequently as you would change dino oil.

The costs of synthetic are coming down close to dino oil anyway. I still change the oil in all my cars every 3K miles and I'm using synthetic.

If it's a cost issue, NAPA or Amazon brand synthetic is probably better than the best dino oil, IMO.
