Synthetic Oil On Breakin From The Factory
There has been a lot of controversy on whether to use synthetic oil during breakin of a new or rebuilt motor. To try to put this in perspective, here is some of the manufacturers that use synthetic oil from the factory as the first fill...

One of the myths that surrounds synthetic oils is that new engines require a break-in period with conventional oil. The fact is, current engine manufacturing technology does not require this break-in period.

I have used synthetic oils in all my vehicles (cars, trucks and bikes) from the start. As soon as I get it home I dump the oil in it and fill with synthetic. I have never had a problem.
This will always be a hot topic, but it hurts nothing.
