    i've heard of some people having trouble with synthetics, simply because they're usually thinner viscosity. on an old engine with a lot of wear, the tolerances might be too wide on the gaskets and seals and such to keep the thinner oil where it belongs.



    the next day the motor started musing


    i have no idea what this means.

    unless you mean the engine is 'using' oil and smoking now?

    if so, i'd just switch to Rotella 15w-40 and not worry about it.

    Rudy-

    I'm having a hard time believing those problems are related to the oil type alone.

    Did you also change oil viscosity? For example, did you change from conventional 20W50 to synthetic 0W20?
