high mileage engine & tranny oil

OK, I know this subject has probably been beaten to death, but ...I have recently bought a 1985 900 Turbo with 300,000 kms. as it stand now the car doesn't leak or burn any oil or fluids. I put in fresh 10w-30 after buying it, and the oil looks clean still, the tailpipe residue is brown. There's a bit of old oil on the lower oar tif the engine, but nothing dripping.
The trans fluid (5-speed) looks a bit dark. I'm assuming its 10w-30 as well ( doesn't smell like gear oil). The shifting is bit notchy, but doesn't pop out of gear etc.
So...should I stick with 10w-30 in both? Or synth? I'm worried about leaks starting, don't want to mess with a good thing! But would like to improve shifting.
Thanks in advance!
