Subject: Re: Switch To Synthetic For 86 Turbo?


Just my personal experience, but I've switched every car we own to Mobil 1. I've made the switch at up to 120,000 miles. I've not seen a worse leakage problem with synthetic, but I may just be lucky. I've switched 6 vehaicles over, lowest mileage at the switch was 65,000 miles on a 1974 VW.
