G'day.
If the previous owner used full synthetic oil then I recomend you do so too.
As a general rule it is not recomended to mix synthetic & mineral oils together.
Also as a general rule-most synthetic oils are of a higher quality & performance over mineral or semi synthetic oils.
You technicaly can use a non synthetic oil, but you would need to drain it all & also replace the oil filter,before re-filling with mineral or semi synthetic oil.
Hope this helps.

I just bought used 2009, 5.3, flex fuel, with 18,000 miles and oil pressure was always at 40psi, regardless. I did first oil, oil filter, air filter change with 5w30 full synthetic and one qt Lucas...

The new oil has better viscosity and raises the pressure. That low of mileage it has tight clearances .

What kind of oil do i use for a 2000 dodge carivan?

ENGINE OIL

You will need to use a 10W-30 grade engine oil, such as any of the following Mobil products.
"Fully synthetic" oils are more expensive. Conventional oils or syn blend engine oils are fine for the vehicle but need to be changed more frequently.

Mobil 1 Extended Performance 10W-30
fully synthetic motor oil ;

Mobil 1 High Mileage 10W-30
fully synthetic motor oil;

Mobil 1 10W-30
fully synthetic motor oil;

Mobil Clean 7500 10W-30
synthetic blend motor oil ;

Mobil Clean High Mileage 10W-30
a conventional motor oil;

Mobil Clean 5000 10W-30
a conventional motor oil .

How much and what of oil is the best kind of oil for a yamaha r1 2007 with 8000 miles

Full synthetic oil will work the best for your bike. Synthetic has been over-engineered in a good way.

P.S: DO NOT USE car synthetic oil as they have TOO MUCH friction modifiers (not good for wet clutch).
