sorry if this is a repost but:

would it be beneficial to switch to fully synthetic mobil1 if the only real "problem" with my engine is the valve seals?

Ive read that if you have any oil leaks what so ever that the synthetic will make them worse, so will i go from seeing a tiny puff of smoke at startup to OMG the house is burning down?

Thanks all smile.gif

may want to try valvoline maxlife, quaker state high mileage or pennzoil high mileage etc. "Supposed" to help condition seals. Prior to this I use to add valvoline synpower or max life engine treatment oil additives.

But after 10 years and 110,000+ miles I wont switch to full synthetic, for the same concerns.
