I bought Syntec today to change my oil with. The guy at the store was going on about how I had too many miles on my car to be running synthetic and that it would be leaking with a few months. Anybody had any problems with oil leaks on synthetic? BTW, I've got 56k on the car.

 

the guy you talked to is a moron quite honestly, no kind way to say it I'd suggest he needs to go back to some tech schools, because that is outdated, untrue "advice" he gave you

 

dudes a retard, that makes no sense what so ever

 

Wow, if that's the case maybe I need to hurry up and swap out my blinker fluid also.

Stuiped, where do these people come from?

 

To be honest, I doubted it was true. I ran Amsoil in my 1.8t Jetta all the time and never had any problems. But with all the oil consumption stuff going on, I figured better safe than sorry.

 

i could see if you had oil leaks already and it leaked like a sift, but that guy is a moron and needs to learn more about oils. it wont leak.

 

Synthetics do tend to leak through seals and gaskets quicker than regular oils. I have seen issues with rear main seals and valve cover gaskets with 2 of my vehicles running mobil 1.
