Syn won't help you there. Look at how an engine is designed. And where the heat is.
It's my belief it would help. An engine on its way to self destruction due to overheating will go through a series of events before a catastrophic failure occurs. I'll bet that series of events would take longer with a good synthetic than a fair dino. Maybe enough longer that I notice a symptom before there's a catastrophe.
I thankfully have no personal experience in this regard but, I don't believe God put oil down there to lubricate my motor that was developed through science and engineering technology. I have to believe that modern chemistry labratories can create a much more suitable lubricant. These synthetics are getting better at a rapid pace too....you'll one day drop your argument for conventional oils...I'm sure of that.
