I was told once by a pilot that the reason the Mobil oil didn't work in aviation engines is due to the centrifugal force in an aviation engine. Not sure if I explained that correctly, what I'm trying to say is, put some what in a bucket and spin the bucket around, the water is pushed outward to the bottom of the bucket. Due to how the av engine is configured it pushes the oil out and this caused the Mobil oil to break down and separate, thus causing it to have no "oiling" ability.
In response to the leaking question. The physics of what was explained all make sense, however my experience has been the opposite. I've always used full synthetic (not necessarily Mobil) changed every 5K miles and none of my engines leak, all over 100K miles. My dad has always used conventional (Valvoline) changed every 3K miles and nearly all his leak some.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
