I used a cleaning additive and followed its recommended 3000 mi. procedure to desludge my engine at 110K, then switched to synthetic -- I had increases in leakage (probably due to compromised original head gasket after running with factory under-torqued head bolts for 100k), but nothing outrageous. Still leaky at 120k.... Leakage is a minor concern, so go for it: the big bonus with synth oils is that they don't sludge your engine.
