I just changed the oil in my 95 900S, from 10w-40 to 10w-30. Why? they were out of 10w-40 and it was time for an oil change! Yes, I know it's a stupid reason, but I figured it wouldn't hurt, after all, the manual says 10-30 or 10-40 is okay. She had a new rear main seal 6 months ago, but before the engine even warmed up after the change, oil was leaking out of the bell housing. AAARRRRGGGHHH!!!! Tried adding oil stabilizer to thicken up the oil, it only slowed the leak. Have it scheduled for monday morning to have another seal put in.
Just wanted to say- I've learned my lesson- if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!
