Someone else said it and it is the only fact that really needs to be remembered.
You do not break in a car with synlubes. after the break in period use what ever turns your crank.( bad pun intended)
Though I use syn's and consider it cheap insurance in that I do punish my cars, most quality oils will do a good job with regular changes under normal driving.
I think that this group has got real sidewise about oils and torque wrenches and alot of people are pounding their delete keys and possibly missing viable correspondance.
Sorry for WOB.
