Reduced cam follower wear? Only reason I can think of --
It's been reported (rather frequently) that the use of Mobil synthetics
will reduce the need for valve adjustment (but I don't know why that
might be). I KNOW it reduces timing chain wear (I've measured that) by
about half and I understand why, but I can't figure out why it would
reduce the need to adjust valves.

As intake valves wear they get tighter - can't be cam follower wear any
way I can imagine!
