Semi synthetic 20/50 oil

Forums

I have bought some Miller's 20/50 semi synthetic engine oil for my commando and alsoDommie99 once run in.

However, talking to someone the other day I was told that the synthetic part would destroy the oil seals. Is this true?

Not as far as I know, I've been using it since I got my '71 Commandoin 2009 I use the Silkolene version.

According to the technical sheet on this oil,the API specification claimed by Miller is SJ. This means that it will have been tested for compatability with a wide range of the elastomers used for seals in engines.

Therefore forget the information given you your friend/aquaintance.
