hmm aren't most h22a jdm ones at least are 30-40k only? i would think that they are still YOUNG and in good condition..
i dont think how 10w-30 syn and 10w-30 dyno can be THAT MUCH thicker/thinner since they are rated what they are rated. again, u are right, these car myths, beliefs, empirical data, whatever out there, lead us to believe one way or other.
one thing i do know though is that syn is better and a lot of people use it for HIGHER performance cars, as they do protect better, and blah blah blah...
my f22 i stick w/ castrol gtx 10w-30 cheap, great oil though i have small kind leakhahahahah

im not sure why it is thinner when both are rated 10w-30, doesn't that SPECIFY its thickness?? i can see that SYN FLUID causes leaks cuz they have DETERGENTS?? in them that can cleans and sweep away stuffs??? maybe this is why its causing drips?
i've used syn in my other car and its at 68k, amsoil and still NO LEAKS on the floor. or anything like that. the car runs smoothe and ive had no problems...
i can relate to using it on old cars; in the sense of production age and mileage because syn can and will clean it, thus cause leaks.
isn't that why 10w-30 is THICKNESS of oil in specific temperature? cuz it makes no sense to see and say that 10w-30 syn = 5w-20 or whatever... otherwise that' be THIN THIN, nor is it logical to say the other way, 10w-30 = 20w-40 or whtaever. just an idea...
just my humble views, not flaming but opening it up to LEGIT discussion and logic i guess...hahahahah

Dinosaur oil is crap compared to good synthetic oil. As long as your engine is broken in properly, use synthetic. As has been said above, if it's too old, the synthetic oil will clean away the sludge deposited on/in seals by the dino oil and start to leak. However, if used in an engine that's new enough, it'll keep the seals fresh and pliable for much longer and won't sludge up (it might sludge if you use a really shitty brand, but I wouldn't know... I only use the best known synthetic oil out there and I'm willing to pay for it every time).
I had a corolla sedan with the 4A-FE in it, and I started using synthetic at about 100k miles. No leaks ever. However, I used it in a corolla GT-S sport coupe with the 4A-GE and 175k miles on it. In a short amount of time this thing leaked like hell.
You know what to do.

Well the thing is... if synthetic oil causes a leak, you may not be able to "fix" it by switching back...
The reason for this is, long-term use of dino oil eventually dries out seals and causes them to become brittle, shrink and crack. Leaking is delayed, however, by the buildup of sludge like I said before. Good syn is so good that it will actually dissolve and clean off the sludge within a few oil changes, sometimes more. If you switch back, the leak might slow, but it might not go back away either.
