Here is a link to Mobil 1's "myths about synthetic oil" page. It clears up a lot of bunk about synthetic oils. I have used Mobil 1 oil in my equipment since the mid 70's and have had nothing but good results. I have run it in new engines with 500 miles and put it in machines with over 150,000 miles on them with mineral oil,them changed to mobil 1 Synthetic. These old engines have not shown any new oil leaks and oil consumption usually goes to about 1/2 what it was with mineral oil. We have done a once per year oil/filter change at usually 10-12,000 miles.Have done this for 25 years on one machine. My two highest mile Mobil 1 engines have 250,000 and 340,000 miles with no problems. I had to replace a valve cover on one engine,and it was very clean inside. The 340,000 mile engine still makes over 5000 miles per quart of 0-30 mobil 1. This light oil is a great advantage for easy starts and fast lube at cold start in our North Dakota winter climate,yet this same oil works well in heavy trailer pulling pickups in up to 100 degree heat in summer,oil consumption and pressure are the same as heavier weight oil.
