I have worked for oil companies for last 27 years.
Here's the down and dirty:
Synthetic oils do withstand oxidation and viscosity breakdown much better than the older full mineral oils do.
However the condition of the engine: i.e. worn rings, sludge build up. etc will pollute the new synthetic oils just as fast as the mineral based oils. And will cause accelerated wear. So if you have a worn engine or internally dirty one, you will never reap the benefits of the full synthetic oils before they get dirty and cause even more wear due to the "dirt".
If you start with a new engine with full synthetic (which may prohibit ring seating), then by all means stay with synthetic.
Also, if you have an engine under extreme demands such as semi truck or tractors in extreme use. I would highly recommend a synthetic.
Even air cooled engines i.e. motorcycle would warrant use of a synthetic.
Other than that I don't think it is economically feasible to run full synthetics.
One other note: A "synthetic blend" is any oil that has 5% (or there abouts) synthetic oil added to it. The "blend" only allows the mfg to add to price. It really only adds a very small if any improvement to the performance of the oil.

(quoted from post at 18:04:10 10/13/18) Most new vehicles have oil change reminders, and a lot of them are set between 5-7k miles up to and over 10k miles. [color=red:4d944e42f9][u:4d944e42f9]The vehicle has no way of knowing what kind of oil you used or it's actual condition.[/u:4d944e42f9] [/color:4d944e42f9] These reminders use time, mileage and driving conditions not always all of those, some might be mileage only etc.
The vehicle has no way of knowing what kind of oil you used or it's actual condition.

Here were my two points about my statement. You would be surprised at all the people who think oil is oil or equal, regardless of viscosity, brand or type.
The other point is a lot of people think when their vehicle tells them it's time for an oil change that is somehow monitors the actual condition and degradation of the oil, in fact none of them do that.
