E. synthetic can contribute to a loss problem. I run Mobil 1 in mine, 10W30, older car formula. Perhaps this is a possible factor. As the Synthetic molecules are smaller than good old dino fluid, they can sneak past seals, gaskets and such. I am seriously considering going back to the other stuff, but I do like the synthetic protection. An open invite on thoughts on this out to the list.
