I have read that dino oil allows the engine to further break in than switching to synth would. Around 10k miles, the engine is as broken in as it should be, and you can switch to the synth.

Thanks...that makes sense.

What kind of oil is most popular? I'm sure that question opened up a huge can of worms, but it's my thread, so what the heck!

I'll have just moved into my new house, so I'm sure I'll be busy unpacking. My time is seriously running short. I've got way too many irons in the fire right now. I'm getting ready to loan my car out to get the mileage on. Did you hear that Steve???
