Synthetic oil in a Jag ?

Wondering if this is even feasible or if there's any virtue to using synthetic oil.

Jags are different when it comes to engine lube..... they use 50wt as opposed to the usual 30wt oils. (I don't know why..... that's just the standard)

Opinions?

Easy: 50wt is thicker and therefore doesn't flow as easily through the leaks.

I'm sure mine used 5w/30 or 10w/30. Yours must be an heirloom?
