Synthetic oil is made to clean all the crap and dirt out of engines... guess whats holding the seals on an old engine together? thats right, crap. I had the good fortune of having a 1970 lincoln continental mark III with a 7 liter V-8. the first thing you learn when dealing with those old engines is that you never ever use synthetic. same goes for an older Saab engine. you run the risk of doing as much as destroying the turbo by killing its seals too. rule of thumb: never put any additive or detergent in your oil system if the car is more than 5 years old. you never know what'll happen.
