There are no issues with oil leakage when switching to SS. It's anyway mostly highly refined dinosaur juice with a healthy dose of synth oil mixed in. The experience is very rewarding though. Vibes are much less, the engine revs more easily. Gear shifts are easier and smoother. At approx Rs 400 per liter I think it's the best value for money you can get for your P220. The typical Castrol Active from the SVC doesn't even last for 500 km, after that the vibes creep back in and the gearshift goes hard and edgy. Right now I'm about to cross that mark on this oil and it still feels good.
