Message	I would definitely only be running synthetics. There's a lot of anecdotal advice out there. Some people on other platforms have had issue with seals that start to leak, but I haven't seen that happen on any of my stock Z32s over the years that were run on conventional oil before I took ownership and ran them exclusively on synthetic.
