im not sure if u guys get ot over there but castrol have a new oil out just for high milage engines, it has seal conditioners in it that are ment to swell the seals up , im not sure how good it works but its worth a try , also stp do an oil treatment thats in a black bottle that does the same job ..
if they do work they wont last for ever but its worth ago if changing them is an $800 job .. -------------------- |
