That is a matter for debate. Obviously the people who make synthetic oil claim that it does and the evidence suggests that it does protect engines from wear. The real question is whether or not the benefits outweigh the added costs.

What is an engine cold start?
It's when you start the engine when it is either really cold out, or the car has been sitting in a temperature region for a while where it has not been run and exposed to cold conditions. This is where more than 50% of engine wear comes from, the cold start because the oil has thickened and therefore does not pump through to the most crucial parts of the engine as fast. best advice is to use the manufacturer recommend oil viscosity (ex: 5w30 or 5w20) thicker oil does not help. And the use of synthetic and synthetic blend oils does help to reduce engine wear at a cold start.
