Is it good to break in a Brand new motor using Mobile 1 Fully Synthetic? I know this is tottally off key but when i was sitting in class today at Nti. Some of the guys were saying that i think it was Chevy use and break in there new motors using Mobile 1 Fully Synthetic. Now what are the benfits of doing that? I heard your not suppossed to do that but why in the world would a huge company like that do something like that? Sorry for the long post

 

You are going to get conflicting answers on this one, but IMO no. Use regular motor oil and don't switch to synthetic until (if at all) 10k.

 

I heard the same thing. There was a big debate somewhere about the Corvettes coming with Synthetic oil already in the engine. I'm not sure if it is true, but when dealing with Hondas it is better to stick with regular oil for the break-in process. Using the regular oil helps the seat the rings better. Also, when breaking in your engine you would be changing the oil frequently so using synthetic oil would become very costly.

 

OT: you goto NTI. my friend goes there. he is from raleigh. he (pretty much) got accepted into Porsche school.

Whos your friend? yeha i might be going to Audi, thats nothing to Porsche but it is something i wanted to do.

 

I have been told by engine builders to use regular oil until fully broken in.

 

just curious how you guys like nti and the surrounding area, i got some info from there because i hate regular college, and just need to get some kind of worth while schooling

 

Ok well i went to the Mistu Dealer to check out the EVO and it runs Moble1 Fully Synthetic too. Whats the deal with them doing that? Does it improve performance?

 

50 /50

That's quite a write-up...
:Cliff's notes-This guy sez that rather than doing the normal "easy break-in" you should break in hard and fast to ensure proper ring sealing.:
So has anyone here used this method? It seems a little "iffy", but that's what he said the normal response is.

Any1?

 

Ok im in the process of rebuildingmy gsr motor right woth CTR pistons and such, and im confused on what break in process to use. There are oto many conflicting answers. Anyone ever tried the "hard break in?" Im confused. I want my engine to last as long as it can.

You are correct. One is not to start using synthetic lubrication untill the motor is completely broken in. Period. Use traditional oil, use it for atlest a 5k, then decide whether you wnat to use the syntyhetic stuff. But there is a reason it`s not a recomended practice.

 

regular 30w non detergent oil for break in period.
