Are you serious? If you are, how was I supposed to guess that? I have never heard of this, and I am a bit sceptical to say the least.

its one of those things thats passed from mechanic to mechanic. trust me, it works. it also works GREAT to clean out the sludge/varnish in your engine. its got some great detergents, run about 1/2 qt in with your oil for about 100 miles prior to the oil change.

Yep - works pretty good. It's because of the additives in it. You don't want to run long with it in there though - just a few miles before changing your oil.

Synthetic oil is the best thing you can do for your car period. I'm not even going to argue about it. Mobil 1
is one of the best oils you can put in it. If you love your car, throw some synthetic in it.

Mobil 1 10w-30 is the best. I did a lot of research at one point to figure that out. I didn't save any of it, but if you do a search I'm confident that you will come to the same conclusion. It's the best for the money. Racing oils are better, but cost significantly more.

Hey Bitter, can I assume that since you have posted three times in this thread since my last post and have not responded to what I wrote that you are now convinced? If not, I would appreciate a response to my last post.

yeah...i put in Full-Synthetic everytime...it doesn't leave that yellowish stain residue on the inside engine bay...it helps to go to high performance oil...Castrol Full-Synthetic...BUT IT AIN'T CHEAP!
its on sale at pep boys for 1.20 a quart after rebate, i say mobil 1 all the way!

i'll be blunt, i dont care what myths you choose to beleive and hold onto. if you dont think you cant change over and that its the OIL causing the problems then go right ahead and live on your flat earth that the sun revolves around

You are confusing the issue by using the word "cause" since we all know that the synthetic oil is not the initial factor in creating the condition that leads to the leak. I am talking about the part I quoted above about the detergent effects of the synthetic oil opening up areas that will leak. Do you believe there is a risk of developing oil leaks after switching a high milage engine to synthetic oil or not? You can answer with a yes or no. I only ask because I value your opinion.

anything is possible. if its going to leak its going to leak its just a matter of when. if your engine is in such poor shape that you're worried about causing a leak then dont switch.
i switched and my only oiling problem went away.

It would have been better if you had said this a little earlier rather than maintaining the absolute nature of your previous position. Also, implying that someone's ideas are Ptolomy-like and then admitting that they are possible is problematic to say the least.

Can't we all just get along? What is the point in arguing over motor oil? I think this is what Coomer would rather not see on here. You guys are just trying to out do each other. I feel like I am in a court room listening to this crap.
Anyways, I stick with the manual and use 10W-30 using Castrol Syntec. I figure I won't get hacked on here if I use part Synthetic oil. This way I fit in with the synthetic fans and the non-synthetic users.

The point is to stop the spread of misinformation. Left unchecked, someone with a high milage engine that PREVIOUSLY leaked but had stopped leaking might have switched to synthetic and had leaking problems again simply because they relied on the myth theory.
Also, please note who kept the thread on topic (without resorting to attacks) and also backed up his assertions with legitimate research.

Hello from Italy!!!
My car has now 189.000 Km and still go well.
I tried the "Selenia HPX" 20W-50, a specific oil for old cars selled in Italy (maybe in europe too)
The engine still goes OK, less smoke and no problems at all.!

I dont even put oil in my car thats how crazy that is!! lol JK 
Guys guys, whatever oil is in our cars, its going to reach 200 000 miles or more, its a toyota !!!! 
I like synthetic cause of all their benefit and you can keep the oil change interval longer, which comes to same cost as regular oil.
Very informative site that tells you how long synthetics can last!!!
