"I am now suspicious of synthethic oils too though as they market teflon in their oil too I've heard. Perhaps Paul can weigh in on that detail."

I have lost some weight, so I'll happily weigh in!

Never have ANY synthtetic oil manufacturers added PTFE (Teflon) to their oil. It just doesn't make sense to add something that has proven detrimental to an oil base that has PROVEN to be so superior.

As for synthetic oil and older cars there are really only a few reasons not to use synthetic oil:

1) The sucker is leaking or burning oil.

2) You don't give a crap about your old ruster.

3) Your car is a NON-turbo and change your oil at 3,000 mile intervals and you don't care about cooler running, better power output, more MPG, longer change intervals, less wear on moving parts during cold starts because of much lower pump temperatures compared to petroleum oil and less wear from oil degradation by-products.
