Switch to synthetic?

whats up guys, i recently bought a 2000 SE 5pd, damn awoseme since i had a camry b4, but i bought it with 81k miles and regular oil has been used. now i know synthetic is thinner and ive heard that once your car has higher mileage it has already made its seals and that synthetic might leak? is this true? thanks guys

Your car is not higher mileage. If you are concerned about leaks, buy some AutoRX and run it for 3,500 miles (1,500 miles clean, 2,000 miles rinse). See www.autorx.com

I am using it in my 95 SE right now and will be switching to synthetic in about 2,900 miles.
