Newbie and a question

Hi
I am an interested person, who has decided to try and become a bit more serious about this as a hobby.
I have recently bought two microscopes;
I've mostly had whate are "toy" microscopes no condensors etc. I was recently able to buy two microscopes;
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07 ... UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00 ... UTF8&psc=1
I'm probably going to focus on looking for micrometeorites, as that feeds in to my interest in Astronomy, I've also recently joined Quekett, and am hoping to become involved in some projects, acknowleding that I really am a beeginner at this.
I have a question; The AmScope B1120B-E has a x100 oil objective. In a video I recently watched. Microbehunter recommended swapping out the x100 oil for a x60 objective - sounds like a good idea, except;
In another video I watched where microbehunter answered some beginner questions he recommended NOT doing this becasue introducing an objective (from a different batch / different manufacturer?) would introduce an annoying focussing issue.
Is it practical to consider swapping out the x100 oil for the x60 (non-oil?
