I've used them in the past without any problems, however, the current
issue of MCA Magazine says that mixing Slick50 (an additive) with
Catrol synthetic oil turns the oil "like jello that you could cut
with a knife".

Miata magazine didn't mention any probolems with synthetic oils, but
they did advise against any oil "additives".
