I had a problem with Royal purple on a higher mileage v6 that I had. It leaked past the oil pan seal. I had the oil pan seal replaced because the dealership I bought it from has amazing customer service, they fixed it for free (I didnt realize it was the royal purple until later). I continued to use royal purple and it started leaking past the rear mean seal. I would use royal purple, but if the car starts leaking (And by leaking I mean probably a drop every few days), then I would switch back.

Correct you are. Dino oils can prolong bad seals, but that doesn't mean synthetics are destroying them. It means a synthetic will expose what needs to be fixed, not band aid the problem like a dino oil has been known to.
