LordArcane Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 honestly its better on your seals, in a way it kind of reconditions them. just like the max life oils and what not them are all semi or full synth oil. Quote

chewie Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 the reason why people say its hard on the seals is because synthetic actually cleans your motor and where you have buildup preventing a leak. you can acually cause one by getting rid of the buildup on the seal.. its not any worse for your seals.
