First of all , how many air cooleds even have a oil temp guage? So not many people would know if it was hot or not. He didn't say it was seizing up or getting tight. He just said it was pegging the temp guage. I'm saying the heat transfer quallities of synthetics are better than reg oil,therefore it absorbs more heat from the metal which would cause the oil to be hotter. You still need to cool the OIL itself somehow. If an engine runs cooler with synthetic, it is because of reduced friction and/or the oil conducts heat away from the metal better. The ENGINE temp is cooler,NOT the oil temp,unless it's water cooled,then all would run cooler.
