Just bought a '95 celica ST. Needs an oil change, is 5w/30 ok? Reason is I also have a 2002 camry that uses that, it would be nice to stock one oil for both cars..

Your fine with 10w-30 in the winter.
I dont think theres an actual problem with going back to natural once you've gone synthetic but I dont think its particularly good either, especially for gaskets & seals. Synthetic oil has better resistance to temperatures, has less impurities, lasts longer, better resistance to breakdown. -------------------- |
