[QUOTE="oldmodman, post: 14324321, member: 10303"] I hope the experts chime in, but personally I would be afraid of starting oil leaks. I don't know if it's just an "old wives tail" but I have always heard that the additive and detergent package in a high end synthetic can remove deposits that are preventing oil weepage at gasket interfaces and even from oil seals. I do know that I have been using Mobil 1 in my 1992 Ford explorer since new and when I pulled a valve cover the metal was a beautiful golden color and there was absolutely no sludge. But when I yanked the valve cover on a friend's Explorer it was caked with crud. And he had used supermarket dino oil. [/QUOTE]
