I've heard from some that synthetic oil causes oil leaks, is that true?

He says the VP does make a bit more power but at the expense of substantially shorter component life; he says it has something to do with chlorine content in the VP oil. If you are going for all out power and don't care about stuff wearing out prematurely, go for it!
I was told the exact opposite about vp. i was told nearly all oils have chlorine in them, mostly as a trick to get you to buy oil more often. vp doesn't have the chlorine and there for can last longer. OR maybe vp DOES have chlorine and others don't, and that somehow makes it work better, but i find that awfull hard to believe.
granted this is coming from a vp dealer, but the guy hasnt' lead me wrong yet and REALLY knows what hes talking about.
