I will second that it is the V-6 (from the 260), not the inline 6, that suffers from cataclysmic lubrication issues. Not to say that syn oil is a bad idea; it's a great idea, especially if you're dealing with a lube-deficient engine such as the V6. But the B30 wasn't known for major lube problems. It did go through timing gears pretty quickly, it was crazy heavy, and it wasn't particularly economical, but it was adequately lubricated.
