My Trailblazer doesn't seem to like the synthetic but I don't want to ruin anything or cause any damage if I switch back to normal oil.

Theres no reason that there will be any damage. But the other guy is incorrect. 99% of cars have gone from regular to SYNTHETIC. It doesn't cause leaks. The oil isn't always thinner either, its just produced differently which makes it last longer and protect better. Theres no reason that your trailblazer shouldn't like it. Call your dealer and find out why it's doing what its doing.

I regularly switch back and forth and never had problems, doing it for past 12 years. I use the synthetic for the cold winter months, it flows better on cold start. It tells you right on bottle that it is compatible with conventional oils.

nothing will be damadged if you switch.
i would just advise to be sure and change the filter at the same time you switch, just like a regular oil change.

Regular oil is just fine.

no damage will be done....if you were to go the other way (normal to syn) you could develop leaks...synthetic is thinner
