Reply to "What Oil to run in the Pantera?"

marlinjackThe Machinist #5723 AMARGOSA MACHINE 'Running on Empty- Middle of Nowhere'

...About using Synthetic oil in a 'Brand-New' Built engine. Where part of the Breaking-in Process is to 'Seat' the piston rings; I have (only) read that Synthetic Oil does not allow the 'wear-in' that is needed to properly seat the rings. I imagine one would break-in an engine(seat the rings), on a mineral based oil, and then switch to a Synthetic. Any other comments?...
