Synthetic to dino ?

Greetings folks, I posted this on DTR a couple of weeks ago, so I thought I would run it by you folks as well...

On my last oil change I went to Amsoil synthetic and filters (dealer installed), and my rig is nearing 70ka. I have recently received free oil changes for 2 years from the dealer (settlement for some damage done to my truck )

but the oil changes do not include synthetic oil, just the standard din oil/filters.

Just looking for opinions, is this a wise move to go back to dino oil after running for about 6k miles on Amsoil synthetic ?
