Speaking in those terms, I heard that synthetic "breaks down" quicker then conventional. What does your buddy have to say about that? Also... is it okay to use synthetic oil in my 350? I think its from like a 74 camaro. I heard that early synthetic oils broke down seals quicker.... or something like that. Currently I use synthetic in my new cars but wasnt sure if I should just stick with conventional for the old guy.

Thanks for all the help!
