    Wiggle the key in the ignition and wiggle the steering wheel and make sure the wheels are straight when parking bec that causes that problem a lot, also try wiggling the gear shifter and be sure its solid into the park position. Hope that helps and best of luck.

    No don't use it unless it was always used , instead add a litre of Lucas oil treatment instead of one of the litres of oil when you change your oil next. Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way why you don't use synthetics unless it's been used from the start is it could damage your seals...
