I run full synthetic Mobil 1, but I have no facts that it's "better" for your engine. I do know, once you run synthetic you have to stay with synthetic.

I run "full synthetic" mobil1 in my Capri.
If you talk to some oil guru's they'll recommend something else, being that Mobil1 is not 100% synthetic, and a few other reasons, but I dont have a problem with it.

It had always seemed to me that I had less lifter noise problems at start up with syn but, that could definitely be in my head or because I went to a heavier weight oil too.

Thanks guy, that's what I wanted to know, as long as someone else is using synthetic and not popping oil seals I can feel confident in using it once she's up and running again.
