Synthetic Oil Leaks C70


Well I changed over to Mobil1 two changes ago ⎢k]
and I started leaking oil about a pancake size
once a week or so⎨k] two weeks ago. I didn't want to beleive
the leak myth but we are going to see. Last week
I went back to Castrol 10-30 [gtx] and so far
no leaks. Hope this is the fact.

One observation was that petro based oils seem
to pour out like mollases but the Mobil1 seems to pure
out like water. I was really hoping to use Mobil1 for life
but if the seals won't seal it ain't worth it. Maybe
some cars seals are better sooted for synthetics.


Can anyone out there confirm my findings. Or is it just my luck?

Thanks,

rd
