I've never like the synthetics, and have never used them despite having very high mileage cars. I prefer using high-quality, turbo-rated "petroleum oil" with the last 1/2-qt. a 50/50 blend of Lucas Oil Stabilizer and Marvel Mystery Oil. My c900t has 375,000-miles, and still doesn't leak or burn oil..and the engine's never been apart or have any internal servicing in the 300,000-miles since I bought it. And the turbochargers usually laster 100,000-miles between failures.
I just bought a ng900SEt and I'm still uncertain whether to bite the bullet and go synthetic or not. I have no idea what's in it, though it was changed about 2500-miles ago at an oil-change franchise-place. Anyway to tell what's in it? Or do you just shoot-the-deck and replace the oil and filter irregardless of what's in it now?
Thoughts?
