Motor has 3500 miles on it, Too soon to run synthetic oil?
I want to run synthetic oil, probibly 5w- 30 Mobil 1 but I wanted to make sure that it wasn't too soon. The motor has 3500 miles on it. What are your opinions?

I ran synthetic after 500 miles. 3500 is certainly NOT too soon. Vettes come with sythentic oil from the factory.

The factory puts synthetic in roller motors. There's no reason for you to wait any longer.
