no way of teling unles the previous owner took it to a shop in town and you could go there and find out what he used they should have records. But it really doesnt matter any way if youy want to use synthetic then go ahead. Next time want to use conventional then switch back doesnt matter one bit.

It is much more important that you change your oil with a recommended quality oil than what kind of oil it is.

put it in your fingers and separate then you will see that the viscosity is bigger in the synthetic
