I've started with synthetic, and never had problems. The thing runs stock now at almost 3000 miles with zero issues, and superior performance!

No need to be scared of synthetic as it is better . The thing is when brand new you want some friction with the rings so the seat where with full synthetic it may be to slick when brand new put very safe to use from the 3rd oil change . Should change it at 200 miles or so and again at 300 then every 1,000 or when the oil starts to get a blackened color instead of being golden . Synthetic oil also may reduce engine heat in the summer too

so your saying put in synthetic blend the first oil change right away and then move to full syn. the next oil change at 200 miles or after the third at 500 miles? also how do the rollers you linked to me work and how do you install them i kinda understood a little from the description but it didnt completely explain it?

Full synthetic may be too slivk in some cases when brand new . Many use Rotella at first . Its a safe bet to wait until 3rd oil change to go with a full synthetic . I use Castrol Synblend since it has both types mixed .
The roller weight kit has many diff weight amounts so you can try several and mix up like 3 5 gram and 3 6 grams to equal 5.5 grams . They kit they are soft and for short term use . Find an amount that works and go up 2 gram with slider weights

Mobil actually recommends it's mobil 1 oil for break in. It's labeled synthetic oil, but in actuallity, you won't find a quart of real synthetic oil in most stores. Most stores only sell the semi-synthetic oils, meaning they;re a mix of dino and synthetic.

LOL there is full synthetic and synthetic blends at any store . I worked at Jiffy Lube and I think it was the ZR1 Corvette that partnered with Mercury outboard called for Mobil1 synthetic oil in the manual .
You can put in synthetic gear lube at any time and I use Mobil1 in my 2T as my Echarm calls for 15w40 in the gears instead of 80w90 GL5
