Ray,

I think the words 'synthetic' tell the story.  Not that I believe silicon is 
bad,
but I think there is a tale about having to 'swell' the Girling seals with 
regular
LMA, so they will seat, then drain it out and but the DOT 5 in.  Otherwise, the
tale goes, new seals wont.

The Castrol LMA is DOT 4, BTW.
