I have a 2009 Escape, used conventional oil its whole life. Local store has a great deal on synthetic oil, what the heck - I mean newer motors are made so much better than anything in the 20th century, what could go wrong? Within two days it was leaking - never a drop before that. Oh, but it's known that motors with lots of miles that have only used conventional will leak if you switch to synthetic all of a sudden. Listen, I'll give you a drink, it will make you feel better than you ever have in your life. That same drink gave my grandma rectal cancer and caused her tits to fall off, but I swear, that only happens to elderly women! Drink up!! Would you? Yeah, its a new build, knock yourself out.
