I'm looking for opinions regarding a switch to synthetic oil.
I just purchased my '88 which has 65,000 mi. While I don't have a service history, the engine is not consuming oil outside of what I would deem "normal", nor does it have any leaks. When synthetics first appeared on the market I seem to recall hearing discussion to indicate that it would be ill-advised to put a synthetic in a used engine. Something to the effect that the stuff was so slippery that it would leak all over the place. True or false??? Or is it an issue that as long as I perform a good maintenance schedule that nothing would be gained by switching?
Any opinions would be most appreciated. Thanks.
