If you don't have a seal problem now synthetic oil won't cause a seal problem.I have a volvo s70 with 76000 miles. do you think my seals can handle switching to mobile 1 synthetic oil?
If your seals are ok, the change to the synthetic oil


will not be a problem.





What can be a problem is if your car is old, and is


prone to using oil. A synthetic oil will be like any


high detergent oil, and will clean the engine well.


On an old engine some of the old oil will have


caked inside, and especially around the rings.


That will start to wash away, and you can start


using more oil.





If you might have a problem such as this, I


would suggest the use of products such as


Prolong, or Slick 50, and others to protect


the metal, and reduce friction instead of


changing to a synthetic oil.
Yes, your engine, seals can handle the synthetic oil, no problem.
It the seals are in good shape, then yes they can handle it. You hap to use the same grade old in the Mobile 1 Synthetic oil's. If you use 30 weight oil. You can use a 10 w 30 or a 5 w 30. The low number is when it is cold. The high number is when it is hot. Gives better start up when cold.
