That's what I will be doing.
I'm against changing to synthetic so soon. Reason being that the regular oil will help get everything worn and seated quicker than synthetic will. Regular oil is better for the break-in period.

Question

Are you saying after the 1200 mile break in period, change the factory oil with regular oil, then after when it hits is 3750 mile mark change it to royal blue?
