Ok will do , is that filter ok ??, it was sticky not like oil sticky but something else ,

Sticky is most likely the Foam Air Filter oil. Motor oil doesn't feel sticky, or at least it shouldn't.

I always in all vehicles run what the manual says for oil , it may be old school , but that’s what I do, and I can’t imagine that they would not have tested the formulation etc, I do wonder why one would switch to synthetic in this engine if it was non synthetic to start? Is it better for engine or gears etc,

The debate on Synthetic vs Mineral. Left twix, Right Twix. I've read as much as I can absorb web wide. The thing that sticks in my mind is that the molecules in Synthetic are able to sized much more consistently than Mineral. Thus more equal coverage across surfaces. After reading info here I'm in process of switching all my small motors to Mobil 5w30. Mainly due to availability and cost of big jugs from the local Wally World. Change it often and i'm not sure it would matter all that much.
