Hello everyone,
this is my first post here now that i own my IS250. i read quite a bit of good experieicne information and i thank you all whom share there thoughts.
a brieft discription before i ask my questions:
1. i bought my "new" Honda Accord in 93
2. after my first 600 miles i chose to change the oil and started to use Mobile 1 Synthetic 5w - 30
3. every 7,000 miles i changed the oil and used the same brand
4. i gave the car to my sister after 300,000 miles
5. the engine sounds and runs beautifully still
Concern:
1. because i used Syntheic Oil, the engine gaskets wore out sooner than anticipated
2. the engine gaskets leak
3. i am not sure if the "comments" are valid, but it is a concern i have
4. comments = people i have actually spoken to!
Questions:
1. does Mobile 1 Synthetic 5w - 30 oil reduce the normal life span of engine gaskets?
2. is the price to pay for increasing the lifespan of an engine normal ware and tare worth it?
Thank you
