Don't know if this true or not. But, I've heard that the molecules in synthetic oils are smaller than those of a conventional oil. If that is true, they will find leaks that normal oil can't get through.

Check out this website for more information:  http://www.valvoline.com/carcare/articleviewer.asp?pg=ccr20050201so&cccid=2&scccid=2

It give some good information on how synthetics are made.
