Front seal and oil pan gasket seals were replaced in 9/2016 with 110K miles. Since then driven <3000K miles but a daily driver. After acquisition in March of 2020- I moved to Mobile 1 high mileage syn. oil and seeing more of seep in front pully crank area and rear (oil pan). nothing bad but it is more than before
Is it common in high humidity areas (TX/NOLA) that these seals would need to be replaced this quickly or is it directly impacted by changing to Mobile 1 vs the PO utilized standard 5w/30w havoline?
Note- no skills nor space to wrench this repair, so this is a 6 hr job at $125 per hour for both to be replaced- roughly $900, Should I replace seals again or live with the fact that I got some seepage, until I need to address something else down the road?
thx
