From what I have been told over the years is that because the combustion process in a rotarty engine is different to that of a piston motor, the synthetic oil fails to burn completely leaving deposits ( ash maybe ?? ) on the housings leading to premature seal wear.

That's what mazda originally thought about synthetic oil(without the proper research). Now mazda has recinded that memo and replaced it with memo 13B(lol...j/k) saying that synthetic oil is ok with our cars.
