i haven't changed my oil since i bought my car a while ago so i think i'd better give it a service. Just wondering what the best type to use is ie. synthetic, semi synthetic or a good quality non synthetic? cheers

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.
