your car is still running??
back to your question. No all it will do is make your car leak oil.

RE: Synthetic Oil?
ive never heard of anything like that messing an engine up. i know that certain types of antifreeze will do that... i think its switching form green to red. one has a different chemical for freezing and boiling points.

RE: Synthetic Oil?
i changed over from conventional to synthetic. I had a slight oil leak from the main seal and when I changed over the oil leak slowed down a little, not gone but slower. When I changed I was doing a lot of high way driving and I noticed that the car ran cooler, quieter, and I got about 3-5 miles per gallon above what I was normally getting...averaged 18 mpg after the switch. You should not have any problems from changing. Once you have gone with synthetic, you cannot go back to conventional without causing problems but from conventional to synthetic will make the car run smoother and better. I will never run anything else in my cars again.
