Switched at 106k when I got my CSVT and no leaks at all... As others have said, it doesn't cause leaks, it finds problems that conventional oils can't leak out of (yet).
Pros: better protection from wear, especially at cold startup
Cons: more expensive, can be offset by using a longer change interval as I do
I've run it on my cars since I got my first good car (Miata) and will continue to run it on my good cars that are keepers. The Wife's leased Honduh minivan gets the cheapest oil I can find, since the motor it only has to last 48,001 miles.
