I would expect that any engine shipped with synthetic oil has already been test run under substantial load in a test cell, and the rings are already broken in. Some cylinder coatings (trade mark Cerminil in aircraft, a ceramic/nickel coating) seem to be immune to break in troubles and piston rings are even re-installed and re-used when the piston has been removed from the bore.
