BMAN1113 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I've heard several people say that switching to a synthetic oil will causing leaks to occur. ??? Has anyone here heard the same? I switched to Amsoil over a year ago and haven't incountered any leaks. My friend has run it for over two years with no problems. Why would this happen?

JDOwen2 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 The synthetic oil will not "cause" a leak, it's just more likely to find a leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSam Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I think synthetic should be better able to seal one to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny3 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Many cars with moderately high milage (80k +) that change to synthetic start leaking a little. Just ask a few that have done it. (Me on several different cars.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Please do a search when asking anything about oil as it has alwayus been asked before just like this question. General questions that are not specific are found in the General maintance section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
