oil question? full synthetic

i put mobil 1 fully synthetic oil in my lude...but now i have heard its bad to use it .....if the motor is not use to it.....the motors seals will swell....and that doesnt sound good....

i just put it in yesterday....that stuff was mad expensive..
but i dont wanna harm the h22...should i drain it and toss it???
what about synthetic blend? or should i just use the good old penszoil?

the only thing about using synthetic is you can never use regular oil again...thats the only downside i have ever heard.....as for damaging engine..i think thats a lil odd

the idea that you can't switch back is the odd part. That's nonsense too, in the end it's still oil, and there's no problem between switching to synthetic from regular and then back to regular again.
