- Is anyone using synthetic oil in their Midget? Mine will be all new with fresh seals and gaskets everywhere, so I feel comfortable using synthetic oil. I've had heat problems in the past and syntheti

- Hi there, I am using Valvoline full synthetic 20W-50 in my Midget. I have started doing this early last year and haven't seen yet any bad leakage. Maybe the engine has already run out of oil? Cheers,
