Seems like there are a few schools of thought on that. Some believe dino oil for the first few changes is best, to let everything "seal" up properly, while some think these engines are built with such tight specs from the factory, that it doesn't matter.

I plan on doing a total of 3 dino changes, then I'll switch to a syn. No real reason behind it. lol
