There's no harm in switching back to dino oil from synthetic, to answer the original question.
Personally, I run a good grade of "regular" oil (Castrol GTX) and change often. I've never seen enough benefit to running synthetic to justify the higher price. You'll blow an apex seal or pop a water seal LONG before you have enough bearing wear to cause a problem.
