So that wives tale about synthetic oil in engines that have run non synthetic for decades, might have some truth. I had an oil change at prompto (usually do it myself) and I'm pretty sure they used synthetic oil, and now my engine is leaking out of like everywhere... Valve cover seal on driver side leaks, lower engine pulley looks like it is leaking, engine/trans area looks like it has a leak, it's not the filter or the drain bolt like I had hoped.. so yea. Worth considering maybe? After 3k miles I lost a bit more than a quart of oil. Never had this issue before. If you guys don't want this cluttering up the thread, I can delete it (of sorts) but I just thought a semi-brief follow up to my comment earlier might be helpful. I'm not saying this is deffinitely the problem.
