Maybe if he reseals the motor it'd be better
Older air cooled cars that switch to synth tend to weak oil at the seals if changed over w/o new seals.
I've had success with Castol GTX high mileage in my car.

BradPenn is more used by dragsters
redline is loaded with good ZDDP additive package..
and new synthetic oils are compatible with all seals..in the early days there were some issues, but those are long gone

old myth
Myth: Mobil 1 will leak out of the seals of older cars.
Reality:
Mobil 1 does not cause leaks. In fact, new Mobil 1 was tested in dozens of industry standard and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) tests to prove its seal performance. It is fully compatible with the elastomeric materials from which all automotive seals and gaskets are made. If an older engine is in good condition and does not have oil leaks, Mobil 1 provides the same advantages as when used in a new engine.
