I switched straight (cold turkey) to synthetic in my 1992 240 with 130,000 miles two years ago. No problem at all, no leaks. However I went back to dino only because I don't think this engine requires synthetic since it receives 5,000 mile oil changes. I suspect very few of these cars die due to internal engine problems where synthetic would have made a difference. However I do run syn in the 850 turbo and the high reving rice burner.
