I agree with John Sargent! I have been flying piston aircraft for 18 years and any rebuilt engine, factory or local require breaking in with mineral oil and maintaining 75% power for the first 50 hours. The piston engine aircraft manufacturers (Lycoming and Continental) have a huge liability involved with their products. You don't trust your life or others to anecdotal speculation as to whether synthetic or dino is better for break in. I know that the engineers of these extemely well built and extensively tested motors are tested to higher standards than the automotive industry. Use the dino oil that volvo recommends and then change when broken in. Very simple.
