[DeTomaso] gumball3000 & Mobil 1

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Perhaps.  The thing is, with regular dino oil you get deposits the build 
up on seals.  Switching to a synthetic tends to clean those deposits out 
which can sometimes lead to seals leaking.  That is the -only- down 
side, you may get more leaks.
