anything is possible. if its going to leak its going to leak its just a matter of when. if your engine is in such poor shape that you're worried about causing a leak then dont switch.
i switched and my only oiling problem went away. -------------------- |

QUOTE(Bitter @ Mar 25, 2006 - 12:27 AM) [snapback]412915[/snapback] i'll be blunt, i dont care what myths you choose to beleive and hold onto. if you dont think you cant change over and that its the OIL causing the problems then go right ahead and live on your flat earth that the sun revolves around  QUOTE(jgreening @ Mar 25, 2006 - 12:36 AM) [snapback]412918[/snapback] Do you believe there is a risk of developing oil leaks after switching a high milage engine to synthetic oil or not? QUOTE(Bitter @ Mar 25, 2006 - 1:18 AM) [snapback]412930[/snapback] anything is possible.  It would have been better if you had said this a little earlier rather than maintaining the absolute nature of your previous position. Also, implying that someone's ideas are Ptolomy-like and then admitting that they are possible is problematic to say the least.

Can't we all just get along? What is the point in arguing over motor oil? I think this is what Coomer would rather not see on here. You guys are just trying to out do each other. I feel like I am in a court room listening to this crap.
Anyways, I stick with the manual and use 10W-30 using Castrol Syntec. I figure I won't get hacked on here if I use part Synthetic oil. This way I fit in with the synthetic fans and the non-synthetic users. |

Left unchecked, someone with a high milage engine that PREVIOUSLY leaked but had stopped leaking might have switched to synthetic and had leaking problems again simply because they relied on the myth theory. Also, please note who kept the thread on topic (without resorting to attacks) and also backed up his assertions with legitimate research. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

Hello from Italy!!!
My car has now 189.000 Km and still go well. I tried the "Selenia HPX" 20W-50, a specific oil for old cars selled in Italy (maybe in europe too) The engine still goes OK, less smoke and no problems at all.!

Guys guys, whatever oil is in our cars, its going to reach 200 000 miles or more, its a toyota !!!!
 I like synthetic cause of all their benefit and you can keep the oil change interval longer, which comes to same cost as regular oil. Very informative site that tells you how long synthetics can last!!! http://neptune.spacebears.com/cars/stories/oil-life.html This post has been edited by Rayme: Apr 8, 2006 - 6:31 PM --------------------  -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |
