[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 871747, member: 61743"] It's summer, I wouldn't worry about it. On newer vehicles the seals are fine with synthetic oil BUT syn can have the effect of cleaning the seals, which will then may cause leaks, if the previous owner was not regular with his oil changes. In your case I would advise either a high-mileage synthetic or treat the engine with Auto-RX first to clean and treat the seals before you use synthetic oil. I have used Auto-RX myself and think it is great stuff. [/QUOTE]
