Re: Switch to synthetic for 16V engine?

[Sean Clark <sjclar00@centre.edu>]

I have used Castrol Syntec in my 88 16v for about 2 years now and have noticed
only minimal oil leakage/consumption.  My motor eats about 1/3 of a quart
every 6000 miles, and it has 67,000k on the clock.  This might be worse on a
high mileage enigine, but it works for me.
