I have a small leak Not sure exactly where from. My ? is Im running 10W30 syntetic blend oil It seems to leak more with this oil!!
Should I run Normal oil will it help maybe even straight 30 Weight?
I like the synthetic seems it has helped gas mileage!
Just wondering what you guys think??
Thanks

i guess my first question would be how long have you been running synthetic?i have always heard it was a no-no to go back from synthetic to regular.my biggest concern would be the oil leak. you should try cleaning the motor best you can lay a piece of cardboard underneath it to see the general area and work your way from there. sorry thats the best i got good luck!!

 

I have only had the truck since OCT 2007. IM not sure what the previous owner ran in it!!! First thing I did after buying it was change the oil people said the blend woul be good for the higher mileage So I went for it!!
My leak is very little its from the front main seal. it leaks enough to let the fan blow some oil back on the engine ! I change the oil every 3000 miles in between I might have to put a 1/2 quart in it (so its not a real bad leak..)
thanks for your help
? Should I just keep running the 10/30 blend thats all I want to KNOW

 

i would say yea just because i have always heard once you go synthetic you cant go back
