I would stay away from burning synthetic oil-I've heard anecdotal stories about Cummins/Dodges trying to burn syn and raw oil leaking out of the exhaust-apparently the combustion temps aren't high enough to burn it. I personally have enough trouble keeping mine running right on dino diesel, not in a hurry to create more problems!
