I've used full synthetic oil in all my cars and motorcycle.
I have a '99 Mercedes-Benz...MB advised me not to use synthetic oil until at least 5000 miles on the odo. I have no idea why. But I followed the rec and now have 138000 trouble-free miles on that engine. I have only used Mobil 1 for the life of this vehicle.
