I just recently purchased a 2006 Honda Ridgeline with 127,000 miles. I have no clue what oil was used in it when it was changed by previous owners.
I've done a ton of research on switching to synthetic on high mileage cars and it seems to be back & forth.
Some say it's too late, and the synthetic will find leaks that conventional oil wouldn't find before being thicker.
Others say it will only leak if there is a bad gasket or seal.
I was curious if anyone out there has switched or used synthetic in something near my mileage. I plan on using 5w20 either Honda's synthetic or equivalent along with Honda's oil filters.
Anyone have any insight or experience from anyone that has done this before?
Thanks!
