Everyone has an opinion. Here's mine.
In '01 Got my first 900. 1990 TC, had 160,000 on the clock, and the odometer only works the first Tuesday of the month. Changed to synthetic, and have had no ill effects.
Every car I've owned has had synthetic. Some from the start, some with many miles. To me, the benefits of a pure oil with more detergent outways the risks. Maybe I've been lucky. Then again, My Saab has the fewest miles of any in the driveway. I also don't worry if I don't change the oil exactly at 3000 miles. (with my Odometer, I cannot tell anyway). I figure at a convenient time, 3-4X per year, +/-.
