Any issue with going from Dino/regular to synthetic, especially higher mileage engines? There was considerable increase in oil leaks when I switched to synthetic in my ‘82 Mercedes Diesel.
Thanks, Mike |

Thanks, Mike Curious to see what Jake has to say about this, as I remember trying to switch to synthetic years (many years) ago on a very tired Type IV and the leaks seemed to 10x themselves. Was like a sieve. Driven Oil looks very interesting. Curious, also, for Jake's take on Michael's observation of 20° F cooler on this oil. I've been contemplating a small external oil cooler out back, as my engine has seen 215° F from time to time, usually on the freeway. |

I agree 100%...if this reduces my oil temp by 20 degrees then I'm all in.... |
