Do not start with syn from the start. It will not allow the rings to break in properly!!
Go with regular old Valvoline 10w30 dyno oil. I recommend going 1-2k miles then changing it again with the dyno oil. Then when you reack 5k or so, make the switch to syn.

Myth: You should break in your engine with conventional oil, then switch to Mobil 1.
Fact: You can start using Mobil 1 with SuperSyn™ in new vehicles at any time, even in brand-new vehicles from here: http://www.mobil1.com/index.jsp
