Motor oil has been the subject of many car maintenance adages over the years, some of which are still true and some which have fallen by the wayside with new technology. These days it can be hard to keep up on exactly what good car maintenance advice is. A good example is synthetic motor oil.
When synthetic motor oil was first developed and introduced in the 1970s, it proved to react poorly with the gaskets that prevent oil leaks. The seals often shrank and car owners were forced to pay for costly repairs when leaks developed. Today's synthetic oils are not the same as then, but the myth that they cause oil leaks persists.
