It shouldn't hurt anything. I would get my motor used to full synthetic if I rebuilt it.

Run dyno for 5K, then change it. It is not going to hurt anything.

Well, synthetic gets burned off more faster than regular oil so... even in new engines, synthetic will be lost just a tiny bit though

why run syn. the only use for it ( in my opinion) is high oil temp. other than that you R wasting your money.

synthetic is a lot thiner, less friction, yes- low temp., which is really good for the engine. but use OEM for the first couple oil changes, and be kind with it
