    both are non synthetic,
    i dont see any harm in the switch
    Life is short and very unpredictable just like a Quarter mile .....

    @hash4u
    ya there is no harm but 20w-50 is much viscous so winter mein engine temperature low hota hai koi masla to nhi...aur meri gari kafi chal gai hai is liyay 10w-30 use karna sahi rahay ga ..???

    Dont worry.
    this is a wise decision
    I also do the same.
    i use 20-50W in summer and 10-30W in winters.

    i want to tell u n all other people that dont ever use oil zic A or zic A+......these oil r very dangerous coz they r thin as like water they r only for zero meter car but they also harm these car..... i suggest to use total quartz 5000.... i think its a best oil as i m using in two carz honda beat n handa civic both r in perfect engine.......

    ^i also agree.

    i think that you should never go from more viscous to less viscous oil.
