I've heard of some people running Mobile 1 between conventional oil changes to clean out the engine. Others always run synthetic like me. With older engines, it may clean out gunk that has plugged up small gaps in the seals, which could cause oil leaks.

From what I've read, synthetic doesn't sludge as easily as regular oil so you can go a bit longer between changes. I use a bio-based synthetic that's environmentally friendly and my engine seems clean and happy.
