I regret that I had not switched to synthetic sooner. Soon, I will have to replace the valve cover gaskets on my Buick. That car has been run on nothing but Mobil 1 since the break in of the new engine was complete, about 14 years ago. I am eager to see what that engine looks like inside.
All of my vehicles still have clear oil when I change it. My oil never turns black.

you say you switched after its been run on (im assuming) dino oil and then ran synthetic for the last 39K miles and was amazed at how clean it was. i wouldnt contest all of that to synthetic. dino can keep things pretty clean as judged by my following pics:
chevettes 29 years old at the time 60K miles only has had dino oil
outside of model A engine thats been sitting since mid 50's
inside pics (yes thats 1950's oil)
thats before i ever started trying to free it up, thats as is outa the field where it sat, grandted yes it had about a 1/2 inch to an inch of sludge but meh thats understandable for nearly 50 year ol oil...
