  • is it safe?

    I have about 73,000 miles on my car is it safe for me to switch to synthetic or would it not be recomended. I don't want to develope any oil leeks.
    I also heard that synthetic can drop your oil pressure and when my engine is warm my oil pressure is really low either a little below or on the first line.

        started putting synthetic in at 58K and I finally got a small leak last month around 95K. But I guess thats not bad for a 10 year old car. Besids, if you get a leak after you put synthetic it means you already had a hole somewhere. Uh, I think there was a discussion in here and the lounge a few months back about the pros and cons of synthetic. Try a search and see what you find.

          do it i had $8/quart snyo in mine no problems

          the only reson synto makes the leak "worse" is becuse the molicluse or smaller the reg oil. that why it lubs better
