i want to switch to synthetic sooo bad, but with my engine having 293,000 miles on it now i am thinking i will have A LOT of oil leaks, especially since i think i have leaking turbo pedistal o-rings now.. i use Delo though and it seems to be a good oil. just wish i was more confident about going to synthetic.. haha

One can should be what you need. I just read the back of the can today. I think it's like one ounce per quart of oil.

No problem! I'm gunna pull a valve cover and take a little peak inside before I run the seafoam. See if I can see a difference. And see how black the oil turns. I'm kinda scared. Lol
