    Hey all, After reading up on the forums on this, it seems that others that have a 1st gen x have had this same problem of leaking out the RMS. However, I've also read that to many people it ends up being some other more easily fixed problem like a valve cover gasket. Last winter, my oil pan...

    The tech put in synthetic 5w-20 instead of 5w-30 as recommended. I did ask for synthetic but not thinner oil. Can this damage my engine? I am in a 80 degree a day climate.
