On a TR race engine, if you are going to use synthetic oil, you initially run
the engine with mineral oil to seat the rings. Therefore, using synthetic
oil in a worn engine would probably be worse, unless it loosens carbon which
causes rings to stick. You might also try some Marvel's Mystery Oil in the gas
tank.

If she is running the engine out of oil, it is either ready for a rebuild or
the trash yard.
