Re: High-ish Mileage Synth Oil Switch - SMOKE

I was told that full synthetics actually have detergents that dissolve regular dino oil. So if you switch at higher milage it dissolves oil deposits that are in gaskets and such, causing leaks or smoking. Don't know how much truth is to it, but I have always just run synthetic.
