I don't disagree with what you say Nate. I didn't say the synthetic would not work, just that the feedback from people who made the change showed a lot of seeping from seals.
Long term use of fully synthetic, particularly from new, probably benefits from the use of seal conditioners which bulk up the seals and counteract the cleaning effect that manages to hasten the leaks when changing over.
The cheaper Valvoline MaxLife product is not 100% mineral anyway, it is a blend with synthetic. I would
still use this over the 100% synth. In the SVX it will do the same job at less cost.
