I just changed my car over also it has 115,000 miles on it with no ill effects + a little better fuel mileage. I really think this synthetic leaking is a myth I know plenty of people that have changed over at very high mileage and seen only benefits. Also you could try synthetic if you have any issues just change back to dino oil.............
