Go away.

I have switched 3 vehicles over to synthetic now. No issues and the longer OCI rocks.

reviving 2 year old threads with this nonsense again...

you forgot to mention the head gasket issues synthetic oil will cause because it's "super slick"!! & dont forget to tell everyone how you use 10/40 in an engine that calls for 5/30! LOL!

Get lost. You are a mental case. Who cares?

IGots over two million in assets and cash and vet connections that pay monthly and daughter with 3.3gpa from Florida State and $60,000 job at biggest stock broker in the world.

Can’t complain.

so, i now have 215k miles, now using synthetic, no leaks.

Where is the evidence to back up your claim? Provide some other than your empirical or a Scotty Kilmer youtube video, because the latter pretty much says switch to synthetic.

I didn’t want to add that AT 205 although SK swears by the stuff. There has never been a single additive to my V6 4.0.

Going back to conventional and the oil drips are down to 1 drip a week, and the garage is clean. The synthetic didn’t work in my 2005 4runner.

When you lose an engine because of that cheap synthetic, good luck getting Mobil 1 to reimburse you.

Stuff makes an older engine too loud and clunky sounding compared to conventional. Way overrated. Rip off!

Ask SK yourself. 50 years' experience as a mechanic. Grandfather owned a gas station.

What do you own triethylborane?

Do your own research.

Again, empirical evidence and going to Kilmer. I bet that Kilmer would go for synthetic in the 1GR, or pretty much any automotive engine this side of 1950 AD (piston engine aircraft engines are a different story for leaded fuel reasons).

Are you a troll, a bot or just baked out of your mind?

so now its 1 drop a week?? i thought it stopped completely & the leak was all synthetic oil's fault? even with the 10w40 conv oil you use you still have a leak!!! WOW! how about finding the cause of the leak & not blaming the oil? hmmm...

& now you think using synthetic will make you "lose an engine" because of that cheap synthetic oil?? not just head gaskets but losing engines will happen due to using synthetic oil? your delusions get worse & worse with every post you make! you must enjoy having people laugh AT you & not WITH you!

all the above... & he's drunk by 10am!

do you believe everything you read on the internet? wait, nevermind, its clear you do based on your delusional posts. & you keep posting that stupid SK video about synthetic oil... did you even watch it? HE USES SYNTHETIC OIL IN THE 200K+ MILE TOYOTA!

the question is can YOU read... how about replying to my request to back up the insane comments youve posted lately??? been waiting 3 weeks for you to tell us how synthetic oil will cause head gasket issues! or why you use 10/40 oil but still have "1 drop a week"! or how water pumps only last 4 years! these are just your comments in the last couple weeks... can only imagine the incorrect crap youve posted prior to that!

either back up your claims or just stop posting this utter nonsense!

You should shut up and get lost. Take the ranting trolls with you.

BTW SK uses conventional oil in the Toyota in the video and it has over 220,000 miles.

Not worth getting really involved in this, but I would like to see if there is any case study on the synthetic oil head gasket leak.

That's perfectly fine that you don't like using synthetic oil. I think most center for debate here is about your claims that synthetic oil will certainly cause engine oil leaks and damage, still without really any metrics. All of your links are essentially providing empirical data, as triethylborane mentioned. All I've heard from you is how "slippery" the synthetic oil is vs conventional, and this qualitative evaluation isn't really a comparable metric.

Something tells me the dude named after rocket fuel has probably done a tad bit of research. Most people are asking you about where your research is coming from, since claims like the head gasket leaks due to synthetic oil are a bit extravagant. I'd like to see at least one example of this before I can start to consider it as a potential failure mode.

from your article: "When using the term older to refer to cars, it means those manufactured before 1990 or so"
