Do not use Full Synthetic Oil with 100 LL fuel. In case some don't remember the Mobil 1 oil fiasco and that it was removed from the market after several aircraft engines were damaged. As I remember, Synthetic Oil will not accommodate Lead residuals and will plug up the oil holes. That is why Shell has offered only a Semi Synthetic. Full Synthetic Oil works great with NO Lead fuel.
