This is an oil thread though so I should have known better than to post anything at all.
Regarding my personal experience being irrelevant, I disagree. The personal experiences of the members of this forum are an important source of analysis. From my understanding of your courteous reply, I'm not supposed to relay any of my personal experience because it's worthless to the discussion? No I think I'm as free to do so as anyone else.
What I meant, is that after switching to synthetic oil in cars that were previously run on dino only, no leaks were observed in my case which runs contrary to the popular belief that switching to synthetic on high mileage cars causes leaks. That's what I posted, and that's how it reads. I apologize if you have a problem but there is nothing I can do.

But you still didn't get the point. Go back and read your post number 7 - you suggested that because you didn't experience leaks you couldn't understand how anyone could make that claim. Certainly your experience isn't irrelevant to you, but it is statistically meaningless. In and of itself it doesn't prove or disprove synthetic oil's propensity to leak and/or to make leaks worse. My experience is different - but I wouldn't suggest that that proves it always leaks for everyone. I'd say the tone was moderate in the context of the egregious logic flaw.
