We used to use 5w30 mobil synthetic from twenty years ago on the farm, and have used it ever since in valuable pickups etc. The motor always spins over easy and the oil helps with the compression when it is realy cold because it is actually lubricating the cylinder walls when it is spinning over. The risk with ether is that it will blow out you head gasket on a diesel as your leaking oil suggests it already has and on the gas it may foul the plugs if it doesn't start right away. It gets up under the glass insulators and the plugs are never right after that even if you dry them out in an oven, best to just get new ones.
