And Mobile 1 won't help a bit if the issue is gasoline wash down. The issue is not lack of oil pressure at start up. The issue is oil that's coating the cylinder walls being diluted with fuel condensate because the cylinder walls are cold at start up. No-one's oil (synthetic or otherwise) protects against this.

Keeping in mind that all their engines were air-cooled in those days and top speeds were in the range of 130-140mph. So here they are endorsing Mobil1 0W40 more than thirty years before it was introduced.
