Dino oil is largely alkane-based and synthetic is largely composed of alkenes and carboxylic acid derivatives. The compounds do not disturb one another in any way.
Essentially everything else you put in your car is also a mixture of various chemicals rather than a pure compound.

It's not ridiculous....I get my advice from people who race these cars and have 20 years of experience with repairing them. Many people have experienced oil leaks after switching to full synthetic. Then again I use really expensive dino for my car...20w/50 that you cant get from AutoZone. You do understand that my model is 25 years old. For whatever reason..the seals dont respond well to it...could be that my model requires such a heavy oil.
