And even with synthetic you would want to be careful about oil temps since the oil does cool the piston and stuff like that which are much hotter than the average oil temp and can oxidize the oil quickly.

Not trying to be provocative, but I am curious as to what spec. you are referring to when you say "...still might not be within spec......"?
