Synthetic oil WORRY

I'm an owner of a 88 SPG which I purchased 2 years age and I love it. It is my second Saab after a stint with BMW's, they're just not unique enough for me or as reliable. So when it came time to choose an engine oil for my car I figured I buy the best I could Castrol Syntec. However recently I went down to the hanger at my airport and asked some of AME's (aircraft maintanence engineers; pretty smart guys when it comes to materials and long engine life; consider 100hp cessna engines with 20,000 hours @ 150km). Anyways I asked "Is synthetic oil good they said it's great for the metal components in the engine but not the natural rubber, if the engine has natural / black rubber seals they will over time distort, swell and other bad stuff. If the car has synthetic seals like new porsche and corvettes it is fine. So to finally get to my question what kind of seals do Saab engines used and is the prior info about the oils make sense to anyone.
