Mobile 1 leak 444-544

I have a 245dl right now&I've been thinking of switching to Amsoil Synthetic,,but the only reservation I have when i last used synthetic in my Ford e150 van .It had about 125k on it&I should have started from the it on syn. when I bought it&then would not have had any problems.
Leaks are said to be caused by the cleaning action of synthetics taking out all the gunk left behind by the shitty dino crud.
I' read the best thing to do is change over to all new seals&gaskets before using syn.&then you won't have the leaking problem.
The other thing to do is to put on one of amsoils huge remotely mounted oil filters&then you can go 25,000 or more between changes.The Amsoil synthetic is supposed to be so good it won't degrade or need replacing before that.
