Break in new motors on regular oil, then use synthetic and your fine.

If the motor has always run on regular, keep it regular, do not change if synthetic hasn't been used since after breakin.

Synthetic is less prone to breakdown due to heat.

I use Regular in the street cars, synthetic for racecars. Racecars as in roadrace cars that see 6-9k for a long period of time.
