Well, that is the traditional thinking. However, Corvettes and many BMW's come from the factory with synthetic oil. According to Amsoil, this is not true that you have to use dino juice for break in, but I would think that using dino would lead to a faster break in....
For a new vehicle, I would use was came in the crankcase until the first oil change. -----Original Message----- From: Rev.

(provided seals etc will work with synth). I suppose that might hold true for bikes too!
