Default Need your "expert" advice

I took my car in yesterday for the 20K oil change. I had 9 quarts M1 0W-40 in the trunk. When I got home there was still 9 quarts in the trunk. Tech forgot and used "regular" oil they said. It has had M1 in since the 5K change (at all of your recommendations). They said I can come back in and they will change it. I hate to waste 9 quarts of oil (yes theirs) but I don't think it is good to change back to regular oil after 10K of synthetic. Any comments?? Thanks.

Default 20k oil change? Supposed to be 5k, 15k. . . .

I don't think it's going to hurt anything, but I would make them switch it back, especially if you are planning on going 10k between changes.

Tell the dealer you will come back after 3k miles for them to change it.
