1989 Chrysler LeBaron GTC TII: 142,000mi
1989 Chrysler LeBaron GTC TII: 88,000mi
1994 Eagle Vision TSi: 112,000mi
1998 Chrysler Sebring LXi: 74,000mi
1991 Dodge Stealth R/T TT: 86,000mi

You're right. I can't prove that the oil busted the gasket because the gasket can bust at any given time. But when a gasket busts after 200 Km of changing to synthetic, I would assume that it was the oil conversion. Besides, most people don't replace a gasket before it starts leaking because they're not enthusiasts like you. LIKE I SAID, it's not going to blow your engine, but it will cause a leak if the gaskets are weak. It may not happen on all cars, but it does happen on some. BTW, all the cars you're talking about, with the exception of the first one, don't have high mileage. My eagle vision ran without any need for gasket changes until 450000 Km (not even the head gasket). My impala's engine died at 350000 Km and the gaskets are still fine. My buick is at 200000 and the gaskets are in good condition. So the oldest car you've ever done a conversion on has mileage of 230000 Km. The gaskets in that should be OK. That's most likely why they didn't fail from the conversion. Don't talk about your personal experience and call it fact, just like I'm NOT saying that changing to synthetic will blow your gaskets.
