Would like to use Rotella full synthetic, what do people think? Will I leak more oil or the same?


Do the valve cover job. It’s very easy, Once you do your research. Then if you get stuck at some point there is a video or instructions online somewhere on how to get past the obstacle. Haven’t lost any oil since doing mine and I’m using mobile 1 synthetic.
