Synthetic tends to be thinner or lower viscosity. It also is slipperier and finds a way out past old seals and gaskets that work fine with regular oils. Newer engines are tighter tolerances and run near boiling point so synthetics are safe to use. I would never run it in a Datsun as it's far and away more protection than you will ever need unless maybe running a turbo.
T4 Rotella also comes in 10w30 and I tried it his summer. Ran the same as the 15w40 which may be a little thick for winter use.... depending on how cold it gets. I only drive in hot weather.

I've been running mobil 20-50 in my Harley and it's leaking pretty bad. I need to get something else for it too. I suspected it was the culprit. Thanks!

I run a quart of Hy-per lube in Everything I own. When I had my L20 built, the guy told me to use it. I figured why not. I punched a hole in my oil pan while autocrossing with a local group and finished out the day. Got home and we pulled the motor. You couldn't even tell it ran dry.
