Default Can I still switch oil brands?

I used HD regular oil until 10,000 mile service. I just did the 10,000 service and used HD syn 3 in all 3. Should have done more research.&nbsp\\; Want to switch to amsoil but is that too many oil types and brands to switch to soon.&nbsp\\; Maybe wait until the next service but definatlet want to change out tranny oil now. Syn 3 sucks for trannies.&nbsp\\;

Of course you can switch now. No harm done except the extra cost.

I know that indiscrimatley changing brands to often can cause problems, foaming and st.&nbsp\\; So I guess 3 brands shouldnt be too many in a short time? I screwed up and should have went to amsoil first.&nbsp\\; Thanks for the reply

as long as the oil meets the same specs you should be fine.
