Re: Synthetic oil after 10,000 mi?
I have read many articles on oil in many well respected mags and online.
Your rings will be well seated in the first couple hundred miles of use, and thats the only concern with synthetic oils. Remember, alot of new cars, trucks, and motorcycles come from the factory with synthetic oil.
In the past 15 years I have had numerous new motorcycles and vehicles and I have been on Mobil 1 at 1000 miles (I always change oil at the first 1000 mile mark). I have never had a problem either.
The way I see it is if Dodge, Chevy, Ford, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Jag, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Ducati, Huqvarna, KTM. (and the list goes on) can put Synthetic oils in brand new vehicles from the factory, and we dont see any ill effects on these vehicles. If anything, Synthetic oils would be worse on a worn motor because the more slippery synthetic oils would get past worn rings easier.
