putting synthetic into an old motor......
Would it be an absolutely horrible idea to just now start putting synthetic oil in my car if it has 151k miles on it? it's a '93 SI, that smokes pretty bad anyway if I don't put some sort of anti-smoke sludge in it anyway, so I figure-my seals are shot, so why not protect the metal components better and continue to use the anti-smike stuff. I am currently running 10w40 Valvoline MaxLife. Could I switch to Mobil1 synthetic withough screwing up my engine?
