which oil?

with 130k can i switch to part synthetic oil? ive added a synthetic additive before. ive heard of doing so can make oil leaks worse!

look if its leaking with normal oil it will leak with synthetic it only leaks worse because the synthetic doesnt break down and get gummed up like normal oil it stays more free moving longer and it moves easier. so the leaks wont stop but they might get alittle worse. but a leak is a leak it wont just get fixed untill you fix it.
