Re: [Amc-list] flat tappet oil

Yeah, tried it synthetic in our current 97 XJ and the puddles got bigger!
On my 96 it had a drip from the rear main.
I switched to Penzzoil synthetic cause it used to be over a $1.00 a quart cheaper then Mobile One.
Anyway, in the 96 I switched to synthetics at 50k and within a 1,000 miles the rear main seal stopped leaking!!!
 I had it for about another 4 years and 50K and it never leaked again. 
I'm 500 miles short of 40K on my 04 WJ and it's getting switched over to synthetic when it hits 40K.
 I hope to keep it for a very long time.
Love the thing.
It gets 15-16mpg in town, 19-21mpg highway, V8, lots of fun to drive too.
Of course when gas gets about $4 a gallon I'll probably be reconsidering it...maybe not.
