Modern synthetics and petroleum based oil are completely interchangable with 
no adverse effects.

the question is why not just keep using the synthetic?  I would stick with it 
regardless of the cost difference.  it increases fuel efficiency while 
decreasing emissions, friction and deposits, plus it doesn't burn off as quickly 
when hot.  when cold (initial start-up) it flows faster to vital upper cams and 
valves.  not only that, but it is much better suited to the long oil change 
intervals most DeLoreans experience (such as only changing the oil once a driving 
season).
