Bought a used S70 last year and I am ready to change the oil. I know this question has been asked probably a thousand times but here goes anyway.

The car was well maintained by the previous owner (Dealer maintenance) and I have heard that if you switch over to synthetic from dino oil that you will have seal leaks. Is this true?
I don't even know what kind of oil is in the car right now so I want to be sure not to cause more trouble. I want to go with synthetic. Please inform.
