    Castellated Syntech

    Anyone running a synthetic based oil, and do you seem to have constant problems with leaks?

    Here is a article about synthetics. In older cars the non compatibility can harden seals. Old common knowledge. Should You Use Synthetic Oil in Your Vehicle? | AutoGuide.com News Zhang said decades ago synthetic-oil makers didn’t pay attention to seal compatibility, which caused seals and gaskets to harden or get brittle, leading to leaks and other issues. This is where these myths about synthetic oil likely originated. But he points out that was 20 years ago or more and “that’s not an issue anymore.”
