[V8] (Oil) Can of worms - open with care

[Michael Larosa Jr]

NO,NO,No,No,NO!!!!!!!!


If it's never had synthetic, then the inside of your gaskets are coated
with wax from the dino oil.  Synthetic is highly detergent and will
clean those gaskets up real nice like it's supposed too :)

But,  becasue the gaskets will be dry and cracked under the wax.... 
shortly after you do this, it will start leaking oil :(
