Hello,
I've been trying to educate myself on automotive oil some and I remember reading a lot a few years ago on these forums that full synthetic oil would cause oil leaking. I don't remember all the circumstances, some I believe were around oil additives such as Auto-RX but others talked about if you start using synthetic you could never successfully go back to dino oil. I've almost completely read through the Oil University on the website here but it hasn't really answered this particular question (although it's been extremely informative). I'd love to hear information about why people might say that synthetic oils would cause leaking. The Oil University talked highly of synthetic so I'd really like to understand this. I want to do the best for our vehicle and it would seem synthetic is on that list. But I need to get out the fear of causing leaks!
Looking forward to your replies (even if you point me to other articles, threads or links). Thank you.
