wrong!!!you can do whatever you want skids72, but that statrment is not true. new cars come with it in them every day. the hi doller ones anyway. .

Here are a couple of web-sites from oil manufactuers and what they say about using synthetic oil on a new engine.www.redlineoil.com check out what they say in their 4th paragraph.Also www.coximport.com They have a nice section in the 6th. paragraph.Also notice they recommend a long break-in for "hard piston rings"These are just a couple of oil companies that don't recommend using their own synthetic oil for break-in.

you look long enough you can find anything you want. you claim to be in the high performance bus. and one thing all of them agree on is, its the best oil for racing motors, blower motor, or any motor that gonna be run in the extreme hot or cold, and I haven't heard you say any thing good about it at all. I've put it in new motors,(more than one time) it comes in new cars and I didn't have a problem with it and will continue to use it. if those cos. you were talking don't recomend their own oil, thats their problem.

It sure is funny you make a post and then run off."If I look long enough I can find anything you want?"I just gave you info. from two major aftermarket oil manufacturest .The synthetic oil is great after you do all the break -in.Yes, you will make a little more power because of the reduction in friction.I see you claim you are a mechanic.You are not an engine builder.If you countinue to do this you will get bit.Good Luck.

build enough of them and you gonna get bit with reg. oil to. I havent seen a motor that the rings didn't seat in a long time anyway, and if you have, maybe you need to change to a dif. oil. its not a problem around here anymore.

The point I was trying to make was not to intrduce the syn. oil to early.I have used some of the hard faced rings and after 20 hard pulls on the dyno they where not seated with reg. oil and I am sure it would have taken much longer with the syn. oil.It really depends on the ring material and the bore finish and angle of the finish.Yes,you are right you will get bit with the regular oil too.Maybe I do need to try a couple different brands.

I'll meet you 1/2 way on this one, but don't get used to it. the best way to do this would be to put reg. oil in the motor first,(new motor) run the break in miles, and if you don't have a problem , then put the syn. oil in. you are invited to have a beer with me and corvette. no, I take that back, I will never be in the same room with both of you at the sametime.

Some people would kill fot that problem. If it trobles you go to a 10/30 or 5/30 oil.

I run 90 psi at idle and 150-160 cold 60-120 psi hot...
