Well now that's interesting. I haven't found one that leaked yet. Perhaps
you found an old bottle with a leaky gasket. Synthetics make it leak more.
That's what they say anyway. ;-P

My opinion of Castrol Syntec is,until they put the
stuff in bottles that don`t leak,they can keep it.The
bottles look cool,but they leak. Steve P.
