My engine builder recommended a synthetic blend, so I'm gonna be running Syntec Blend after breaking in my rebuilt shortblock.

That's a bunch of crap. Synthetic is superior to mineral oil in all aspects.

mobile 1 synthetic all the way...best protection against engine wear and best for stock performance...

if you want high performance synthetic oil you might want to look at lucas oil...

my uncle works at dow chemical and they test ALL oils...these are the top oils and it depends on vehicle...since you have turbo and the oil will be hotter you want something like 15w50...which is what i use...cuts oil burning in half in vtec also...
