There won't bea problem going to non-detergent oil. If you haven,t had any problems with the multiweight, I would at least stay with detergent 30 wt. . The non-detergent letsthe sludge, carbon, etc that an engine produces stick to the block, head, etc inside the engine. The detergent keeps these particles in suspension and keeps the enngine cleaner inside. Going from non det. to det oil in old engines is sometimes bad becuase of these deposits and the detergent cleans them up and can plug up oil passages, etc. I have been running Havoline Syntec Blend in my Cub, mainly to help it start in the winter. Have not had a problem, as the previous owner used it enough to keepit from sludging up.
