He is wrong, simple as that. The engine does not change what it is made from as it gets older, so if synthetic is suitable when new, it is also suitable 10 years down the line.
The only time synhetics can cause problems is in very old engines and synthetics that are of a too lower viscosity are used or the engine has been very badly neglegted over its life time, say 10 years or more and oil never really changed, then when you put a synthetic in all it wants to do is clean it out, this can lead to leaks.
I would go with the Motul 8100 Xcess 5w-40 http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx
Cheers
Guy.
