Default Break In - What oil to use?

So I am due for my 5000 mile oil change. This will be the first oil change. Should I use conventional oil for the first change then switch it to Fully Synthetic? How long should I run it with conventional?

The original oil your car came with from the factory has additives in it to break in the engine. You are right in waiting to change the oil till now. I would say you are safe to change to synthetic now.
