about swithching to synthetic

["Mr. Daniel P. Grady" <dgrady@mail2.nai.net>]

Other than price, I've only experienced on problem with running synthetic in
an older engine. Over the winter I ran Mobil-1 10w-30 in my 87 5kq with
about 115k on the motor when winter started. I estimate I've put about 6k on
the car since(odometer quit) and over the weekend changed the oil. When
adding the new oil, conventional 10w-40, I noticed a change in the carbon
deposits on the cam in the spaces between the lobes and bearings.  The
deposits have loosened up and seem to be falling off and into the oil
supply. This has me a little worried. I'm thinking I will never use synth
again or use it all the time to get all the stuff out of the motor. Right
now I fear I am just creating new deposits to float around the engine the
next time synth lossens them up.  I see lots of filter changes in my future.
Just another warning I guess.
