I've heard some ridiculous stories and and been a part of two myself, I'll tell you what I think about my super seals when I see them in a few days.
Running premix over ashless "conventional" (doesn't mean conventional in the conventional sense, more along the lines of regular oil but could be conventional or synthetic) actually has increased wear. I believe the math worked out to about 1/3 less longevity of the seals when compared with regular oil. I'll post up a few links to it. Give me a sec.
