I'm hearing that when you go to an aftermarket camshaft, you should no longer use synthetic oil but use 10W-40 conventional oil instead.

Has anyone else heard of this???

I thought I'd throw it out there and see what the overall consensus is....

Thanks in advance!

Umm definately not….. absolutely no reason to switch to a 10w40 weight or conventional oil.
Of course a break in oil is good to use after any motor work or you could use conventional for a short amount of time as a break in oil but as a permanent switch, no way
