Synthetic oils are *vastly* more detergent in nature so they tend to loosen up all the old sludge and crud easily and quickly , this means it gets filtered out much faster as the dirt , spooge & crud , remains in circulation better and modern engines have full flow oil filters , means the oil goes through the filter before it goes anywhere else in the engine .

They used to make fully synthetic oil for airplanes but after a few engines got so full of crud that they stopped in midair, they figured they'd only sell "semi-synthetic" oil from then on, which is a mix of synthetic and dino. Auto engines are different and they can tolerate more crud, but maybe alternating the two with each oil change would get the best of both worlds.
