My uncle complains about this happening on his international, (conventional OK, sym leaks) but I think it has more to do with parts warn past tolerences, not the seals. I have NEVER heard of syn causing seals to fail, only to identify questionable seals due to the fact that it just goes everywhere it can, an excellent quality for a lubricant, especially in a well sealed engine where all the connections are within tolarences.

I agree. I am not sure the reason that most dealerships say you should not use it. I think my mazda just had a seal problem and the Syn. may have made it worse as it got older. I would use it in my alero right now had I not spent $1000 on an extended warranty. Because the Alero is gone out the door before that warranty runs out. So there is no point spending the extra dough on the good oil when the warranty company says just change the oil every 3-4K. I really do think it helps a motor last longer and stay much cleaner inside from sludge though.
