Oops I was wrong, thanks for the correction. The Mobil-1 website says to break-in a new engine with conventional oil, then switch to synthetic.

I was thinking that synthetic was OK for break-in, because some new cars now ship with mobil-1 from the factory (like corvettes). I think rings will eventually break in OK with synthetic, it will probably just take longer.
