As long as u keep ur levels up, drive in orderly manner when cold nothing will go wrong.

Only way u can go wrong is if you start putting olive oil in you car.

All good man stop worrying so much.

No, nothing bad will happen. I can tell you though that your dad is wrong. Castrol Magnatec 10w-40 is MINERAL. It has some synthetic additives, but that is a very small amount. The base stock is still mineral. There is also a Castrol Magnatec FMX 10w-30, that is a semi-synthetic base stock.

well it says SAE what does that mean then

Google?

It means that the viscosity rating is tested according to SAE standards and is comparable to other oils which also use the same SAE method. http://www.sae.org/
