change, and  then put in a premium mineral (non-synthetic) oil for a
couple thousand miles just to be sure that everything is run-in and
seated properly.  Or at 500 mi. put in another 4 quarts of "running-in
oil" with a fresh filter and do another 500 mi. Then put in the
synthetic. <

The main reason for the 600 mile change is to remove the particulates
generated (mostly by the transmission) during the early running-in
process.  But that's not enough running to completely bed in the
rings, thus the reason for continuing with non-synthetic oil, which
I'd run until at least 3k miles.
YMMV,
