a good synthetic oil will not do that. they are compatible with conventional oils, but as others say you loose more benefits of watering down the synthetic that you ever gain.
IF turning to tar happened a cause could be that the synthetic oil cleaned a very dirty engine out and the gunk that broke loose and settled somewhere else is what they saw.
I've been an AMSOIL dealer for quite a while and the one car i didn't flush the engine out when i converted the car (after i bought it) from conventional (or what every the quicky lube place the previous owner used put in it) to full synthetic it plugged the filter after a coupe thousand miles and I had a light rattle at start up. swapped a new filter and no issues after that for about 100,000 miles before i sold the car. Since then i always use engine flush when switching. The older and dirtier the engine (and/or an engine that is not running right and has gas/fuel or antifreeze in the oil) could have that issue. maybe not but good chance of it.
not sure how the synthetics would behave if the old engine oil had stop leak or STP, lucas or other cure in a bottle snake oils in it.
for the $ blends are worth bothering with... having said that AMSOIL JUST came out with a 50%+ blend of diesel and hydraulic oils so.. ???

They have all the replacement parts for overhauling an engine without going to the store to get gaskets, special measuring tools, or miscellaneous parts. They come neatly packaged, clean and tidy. But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security. The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
