Hmmmmm... Yeah I'm interested. The only problem I'm aware of with synth's had
to do with older engines (I'm talking early '80's and older) and their seals.
It seems that synth's were so thin and capable of getting into small places (a
good thing) they would work their way through poor rubber gasket seals in the
engine (a bad thing). With the tight seals in modern engines I'm told this
isn't a problem anymore. So far, my '98 318 is proof of this... Please, tell
us more.

With all this talk about synthetic oil - Did you all know that the Mopar
Performance Magnum Engines book recommends AGAINST running any kind of
synthetic oil? Think it was because of its lack of sulphur content as
well as it being thinner. I'll quote the entire paragraph if anyone is
interested...
