I'm creating this thread because over the coming days/weeks I'm probably going to have a bunch of stupid questions. My first one is:

I've got an '02 V6. I've had it for about a year, and I've kept up with oil changes, etc. Well, now that I live on campus I don't get home often enough to keep up with the maintenance myself, so I find that I have to take it to shops, etc. Well, I took it to Midas for an oil change and the idiots put synthetic blend in it. My question is, should I go back to standard oil, stick with synthetic blend, or go full synthetic? The car has got about 120,000 miles on it, the last 30 or so of which I've put on it. It's had some hard driving, and there are times that I do tromp on it, but I'm not the idiot doing burnouts and donuts in the parking lot every weekend either.
