Is there a problem with Castrol Syntec?
#1
Its been a very F'd up coincidence. When I put castrol syntec in my wifes 04 escape a few years ago I started having a bad oil leak at the rear of the engine. I couldn't find the source, but it was running down the side of the block. I didn't blame castro then but I did switch away from it.

Now years later I give it a try in the 02 SVT, first it was the dipstick tube leaking like MADD! Now the gaskets and fittings for my oil relocation are leaking...

I was talking to a friend at work who also tried out castrol and the same thing happened, developed an oil leak within 3k.

what gives, is this just a fluke? Either way its bad luck for castrol as those oils will never enter my garage again!... I can't blame them but can't not not blame them....
