That is very true... I will use Mobile 1 AFTER I reseal my 911 engine this
winter... for a low temp car like the Sunbeam I will continue with dino oil.
The synt. oil has a MUCH lower viscosity all the time therefore will burn
past the rings and valve guides faster in old engines and leaks past British
seals quicker... Don't plan on switching if you exhibit these problems it
will make the oil spot on the cement bigger and you will have to top up more
often.

I've also heard synthetics can sometimes cause older engines to leak more
past the seals. And at $$ a quart, do you still change the oil as often?

Bill,
I think my first choice would be Mobil 1 in the transmission first
and
if I have any money left, then in the engine. Also, Red line oil makes
an excellent transmission oil that I would consider as well. I recommend
staying away from the oil additives.
