The "additional protection" is overkill. Mineral oil is more than adequate and continued to improve.

I am willing to bet that once-a-year-oil-change-with-mineral-oil will last as long as engines with synth oils. Guess what? It was never proven that engines with synth oil last longer. Never. To the contrary, the best large scale study proved otherwise in mid '90s and that was the start of longer interval oil changes - mineral or synthetic.
