I'm a believer.
I had a '90 cavalier with 58k miles when I bought it (first car which wasn't a hand-me-down). It was driven mostly in the city. I would change the oil every 2k miles because it started sounding loose and junky. It started acting like this around 1k miles after an oil change. Then I added a qt of Duralube to every oil change for a while. It didn't seem to help. (Duralube in my opinion is a joke.) I switched to Mobil 1 and started changing oil 3k to 5k miles. The engine was quieter, even when it was close to getting a change.
I had a friend for whom I changed the oil. It was a mid '90s Camry with the engine that was known for oil foaming issues. I started using Mobil 1 in it and the foaming issues went away.
Also, I believe Corvettes, Cadillacs (Northstar), Porches, and some piston engine aircraft require synthetic for warranty.
Now, I only use it in my vacation car. I don't use it in my old pickup because I'm afraid it will start leaking.
