Hi Dave,

Well, if your not up to changing the leaking seal right now, then I'd say stay away from synthetic until the leak is fixed. I don't use synthetic in my B230F mostly because of it's mileage and therefore I'm afraid that it'll start leaking. I chose Shell Rotella T for it because it's supposed to be a high quality oil and I wanted something a little thicker then 10W30. I'd recommend you just try something like Castrol, Penzoil or Valvoline non-synthetic 10W30 for now and see how it likes that. You still might consider using an engine flush as it should help with the (sounds like) lifter problem, hopefully.
