So Zack -

You switched to a full synthetic 10W-30 and the leaks dired up? Right? It has been my aim to get both of my daily drivers on to synthetic, but I have been hesitant as I understood that a small dino oil leak can become a very large synthetic oil leak. Your "testimony" sounds like the reverse of that.

How many miles on your brick?

My bricks are almost twins. Wifemobile is a 1988 244GL B230F having about 130K and mine is a 1986 244GL B230F with an estimated 250K (both o/ds are dead).

I have the 88 on 15W-40 and the 86 on 20W-50. I have about 1-1/2 cases of 20W-50 in Bob's Garage Volvo Parts Dept. and will be using them up first, but then it will be synthetic and 10W-30.

How are your leaks doing? Where were they?

Regards,

Bob
