Intresting, whats the "concept" behind that one?

you know what "breaking in" is.. right... you should also know that synthetic oil reduces greatly reduces wear.... i would think that you would be able to see how this can slow that process.. if im wrong tell me what IS right...

Hehe, to make matters more confusing, I had my oil changed at Performance Nissan on Saturday and they used Castrol "Syntec", which the service manager said is a blend of synthetic and regular oil.
