RE: Synthetic is the wrong break in oil
By John - 08/08/2005 4:44:37 PM; IP 142.177.104.52
Gordo is right about using mineral based oil for the break-in, although I'e heard some new cars come from the factory with synthetic. About 80% of the break-in is done in the first 20 minutes. The rest takes a long time. From what I'e heard a few hundred miles to 1000 is enough before switching to synthetic. Maybe longer for chromed rings. I switched after about 500 miles and everything still seems OK at 3000. Better safe than sorry though and switch to mineral for a while yet.
This thread, so far...
