I asked my mechanic the same question. He told me that on engines with higher mileage, going from regular oil to synthetic can be dangerous. This is because if there are any gaps or areas when oil is leaking, the synthetic will go into that pocket. He advised me to go with a durablend. Not sure who is right, just some food for thought...........

I switched to Mobil 1 at around 60k. I'm at 70K and I do not use any between changes.

I talked to my mechanic and he said that synthetic oil isn't supposed to leak. He said that he uses it on his old dodge truck with like 250k miles. also, mobil one makes a synthetic oil specifically for higher mileage engines.
