This guy comes up on my 'you may like' list from time to time and seems to put together pretty good informative videos.   Thought this one was interesting and explains why there is or was the idea you can't use synthetic in old engines.    Doesn't really address the zinc issue but I think that can be its own issue and dealt with with an additive if you think you need one.

For those that don't like links its 'Engineering Explained' user and the video is 'is synthetic oil bad for old cars?'.
