Re: Mystery oil consumption - 2002 Highlander V6

Full synthetic oil IS NOT recommended for high mileage engines such as
yours as the synthetic formulation has a tendancy to seep through seals
& gaskets more than conventional motor oils. I have seen NUMEROUS
vehicles with 75,000 plus miles exibit "mysterious" oil consumption or
annoying leaks while using synthetic oils, just to have the problem
solved by switching back to conventional motor oil and having it
changed as recommended.
