Re: oil change question
your engine doesn't get used to it.. what do u mean by bad oil? if you mean non-synthetic oils, by no means are they "bad" as long as they are the correct weights the oil should still do its job.
improper lubrication = friction = heat = problem

Re: oil change question
Some people say that synthetic can cause seals to leak if you switch over from using dino oil for a long time, but that is just here-say for the most part. Leaking has nothing to do with how old the oil is...the older the oil is the worse it is on your engine.
