hi kitty g andrew and other oil sages- i have heard and continue to hear that despite the good characteristics of synthetic oil there is a real risk of leaking due the effect of this oil on the seals and gaskets of older engines. my 92 245 has 240 k and doesnt leak or burn oil. is there something to this or is it an old barracudas tale? and kitty g regarding your reference to fram ph8-A oil filter, isnt that too long to fit on the 240(manual trans)? dont think it will fit between the engine side and the engine mount. if my memory serves me right that number filter is not a shorty. thanks tons oldduke
