I have never verified this myself, but I've read that switching to synth in older cars might introduce leaks in places where leaks previously didn't occur. The smaller molecular structure of synthetic may allow oil to seep past old seals that dino oil wouldn't penetrate.
Otherwise, there shouldn't be a problem. If you change oil frequently however, I wouldn't waste the extra expense...
