The only thing to be considered when switching from dyno oil to synthetic is the cleaning effect of the synthetic. You will need to be aware that the oil filter may need to be changed more often than normal for the first few thousand miles as synthetic might loosen up existing sludge. Other than that, I have seen no reason that would stop anyone from switching. (especially with the turbo models !!)
The only other consideration might be the soot that occumulates in the oil. However, even considering that factor, the wear factor is the winning element.

Always use synthetic when available. It will extend the engine/turbo life. I run synthetic in all of my vehicles.
