Re: couple of dumb questions



I had one dealer tell me that they are shipped from the factory with
break-in oil already installed.   Break-in oil is not synthetic (or even
semi-synthetic).  It allows the rings to seat in properly and relatively
quickly.  It would take a lot longer (maybe never) to do this with synthetic
oil.  The break-in oil is replaced with synthetic oil at first service (500
miles).

Can't help you with the other question though.

Cheers
Neil
