Syntec is a group 3 synthetic, hydrocracked petroleum oil.... anyway, that shouldn't be the problem, castrols a pretty good oil, though how long have you been using it? It should have kept things pretty clean if you've always have been using it. Other then the sender, it could be a partially clogged oil pump pickup screen.....
