I definitely have a preference for fully synthetic oils. Over here in Europe there is almost no demand for anything else. Much of this is down to ever tightening emissions controls and the exhaust after treatment 'arrangements', shall we say.
Couple that with the healthy diesel car market and mandatory DPF fitment since 2007 you can see why.
However, there are some situations where mineral or semi-synthetic oil is useful. Not many, but they do exist.
