DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC FOR YOUR FIRST OIL CHANGE!!!!!

It fucks up the break in. I used the cheapest standard car oil for the first 3 oil changes. Then started using Synthetic after 2k miles.

If you use Full Synthetic too early in your break in period you will actually lose about 10% of total power due to piston seals not setting right. They need to seal properly and by using Full Synthetic, you lose the ability for the seals to make a proper fit due to its excellent lubrication properties.

I bought Shell car oil at 1.87 a pop then switched to Mobil 1 Full Synth.
