I can only relate my experience. Up until about 100K I had my '02 Linear serviced every 5,000 miles at the dealer who used the semi-synthetic Saab recommended when the car was new. Then I started going to Atomic Auto in Portland and Travis insisted on using straight synthetic--I don't know what brand or weight.
Before the switch we were sometimes getting a puff of smoke on startup and expecting a turbo replacement was in our future. Since the switch, we haven't seen any more smoke--and that's for about 20K miles now.
I have now switched my Toyota Tacoma to Mobil 1.
