mobil 1 oil

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

I used Castrol Syntec 5-50 for two years ol year round and only leak  was from
the valve cover gasket.

It's known issue that cork shrinks with syntetics.

No other leaks despite warning by mechanicks.

Will switch to Mobil 1, because of better flow characteristics in cold.
