There are none.  Changing your oil regularly and using the latest API grade 
will provide sufficient protection.  It is extreme cases that synthetic 
helps out.  Cases such as towing a heavy trailer in the desert 
summer.  People that I have talked with and are not sucked in by the hype 
have had good luck with engine longevity.  Another oft mentioned benefit is 
that engines do run cooler when under load.  I do not know.
