Post Will synthetic oil make my 3.2 leak?

I have a 87 3.2 carrera with no leaks whatsoever! I am currently using a good quality standard oil (Kendall). I want to switch to Mobile 1 but I am afraid the car will start to develope oil leaks. Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

If it doesn't have any leaks now, it will be fine, I've switched to synthetics in every car I've owned, new or used, and run it in air cooled 911's with no adverse effects. if its leaking oil now, it will still leak oil. The suggestion it makes leaks, or current ones worse, is a old wives tale IMO. The oil is far superior.
