Amsoil causing seeps?

If an engine has even the slightest weep when using natural petroleum oil it will become a lot worse when you switch to synthetic.

No leaks with Mobil 1 synthetics in my Can-am 0w-40 or Polaris 15w-50.

I'd be curious if it still leaks when you go back to dino. Good luck.

My experience has been the opposite. Synthetics have slowed or stopped leaks on every old engine I've switched over.

I can't believe you because I've never seen that happen yet.
