I usually just use a good standard oil on roller cam engines... Then after the first oil change (about 6-800 miles), go synthetic... Cheaper since you will want to change the oil at that earlier interval the first time, and you won't have to dump your expensive synthetic so soon... Dunno since you've already put it in though... Anybody else have thoughts on running synthetic from the start?? I know there will be concerns about ring seating, but I'm not sure if thats applicable anymore these days..
