Interesting, I hear of a lot of people running into leaking problems when switching to syn after years of regular. Must be another internet myth.

Lots of people do that on regular oil changes. Some use kerosene, ATF (it has detergents in it), jet fuel, seafoam, etc... Is it effective? Dunno. Just remember most of these things suck as a lubricant, so you'd better not run it too long.

Valvoline 10w30 conventional, and a Fram Truck filter. The Jeep's a simple machine, so I keep it simple.

I use a big ford oil filter with the cheap shop oil. :-)
