Stay away from switching to synthetic on an older engine, they tend to
develop oil leaks.

Yep!

I heard that if you switch and do not switch back you will not have
leaks.

Anyone switch to synthetics and stay switched?

Joe


I've only switched in the cars... no problems at all. According to the local
mechanic, you can mix oil and synth without problems.
