I have a 1990 900T. I started using Castrol Syntec back in '91. After a few months I noticed that some of the top-end rubber seals (e.g. on the intake manifold) and vacuum hoses began to sweat out small amounts of oil. The oil seemed to ooze through the seals and hoses. I swithced to Mobil 1, and the problem dissapeared. (I did not replace the seals). Being a scientist, I decided to try Castol Syntec again later, and hey the oozing returned. Swithched back to Mobil 1 and it disappeared again. So I have continued to use Mobil 1, and now have 130,000 miles on the car.
I do not understand why Castor Syntec probuced the effect it did. It did not do any premante damage to the seals, but they sure looked awful while they ooozed.
