Doug, always good to learn something new, and I didn't know that about the synthetic oils being worse than petroleum oils for leaving slicks on the lake. I think the some of the early high-mix-ratio oils (40:1, 50:1) were petroleum oils with a lot of "bright stock" which is, as I recall, an anti-scuff additive that permits use of those "lean" mixtures.
