I have heard from people that it is a bad idea to use synthetic oil while breaking in a new engine. Their reason was that it so slippery that it will glaze over the rings and they will not seat properly. Sounded like a lot of hog wash to me but then again I am no expert in motor oils. I was wondering what people here have used for engine oils in their fresh machines. I want to use synthetic because I know I don't change the oil as much as I should and I work the tractor really hard when it is in use. Sooooooo can I break in the engine with synthetic or not is what I am trying to get at.
