Not true if you use the same viscosity (weight) oils.  Yes, the synthetics
tend to clean the inside of the engine better, but the old folk tales about
seals starting to leak, etc., are untrue.  If your engine is using oil, stick
with good dino cause it's cheaper.  If it's strong, synthetic will only
prolong the life of the engine and save you lots of money.
I'm a strong advocate of Amsoil and if you use it, I'd recommend a filter
change and top off the oil at 3k miles just to get as much dirt out as
possible.
