Synthetic oil is not what causes the leak. The leak is already there, the synthetic causes it to show its head. Synthetic has an extra additive in it that makes it slipperier, in order to get to more parts of your engine. It does require any flushing to change to it, just do it. There is a semi synthetic oil called High Mileage, or even High performance oil, that may not cause a super ripple in your cars leaking problems.

Your problem sounds like rear strut problem. Very common in Toyota and Lexus. As mine currently have that problem. Since you have just purchased it, you cannot compare inner tire wear, that would definitely tell you.

That could be but the gal at the Florida DMV thinks that since the car was still "AWOL" when Allstate had it titled, they didn't have the current mileage to title with. I would love to know though if the "thieves" did take anything out of the car b/c whoever replaced ithe stuff did an amazing job. I also found out that if a dealer is found guilty of knowingly selling a "salvaged" vehicle in NC and not disclosing it that the seller receives 3x the value of the car plus $50K.... And I informed the lien holder bank (who has a relationship with the dealer so apparently never did a CARFAX either) about this situation, they checked the title and confirmed for me that it was never marked as "salvaged" before the dealer sent it to them. They're not happy and plan on sending the balance of the loan back to the dealer for them to pay off. They told me I would never have gotten the loan had they known it had a salvaged title. Also, I have a good friend who has a friend thats the finance manager for another dealer thats owned by the same company. He is working on this for me from the inside. The plot thickens. As a selling dealer, they are obligated to let you know there was a salvage title. If they do not that is fraud in every state. Especially for large dealers. Speak with another lawyer, because that one is wrong.
