Not trying to start the entire debate again, which is played out one million times before and is easy to find in a search.
Here is the scenario, you change the oil annually in your engine.
It is not due to lubricating properties (per se) use, dirty from use etc. It is being changed more due to moisture contamination and as a best practice.
Discounting slicker, longer lasting, if you punch a hole in the oil pan the synthetic will cling to the engine and not want to leave
arguments for the synthetic.
Is there an argument that the synthetic oil will resist moisture contamination better then the conventional?
I know, with say Brake fluid, that is the case regarding mishability although my personal belief is that causes some problems as well in brakes where "puddles" of water sit and cause rust.
