is it good to use full syntheic oil right away? i mean i just recently switch to using some mobil 1 full syntheic oil and some guy told me that it's not a good thing to do that. he said i should do half syntheic first when using it the first time in my car. is that true?

You'll be fine using M1 synthetic oil in you car. I put M1 in my engine at 3000 miles and I haven't had any problems so far. That old myth about not using synthetic oil in new engines was true in the 70's but it isn't true today.

True. I switched over to Mobil 1 5w-30 full synthetic with around 13k miles on my Si. No problems..

run the oil that comes in your car from the factory for 3000 miles. It has additives that help the piston rings and seals seat.

after that, use mobil 1.

i wonder where he came up with that 50/50 mix. . .

What are the addictives????????? There are none. The oil that comes in the car is regular Honda 5w-30, nothing special. Piston rings and crank bearings all seat with proper break in. No high revs and no hard acceleration.

I changed to M1 syn at 500 miles, that's right 500. Doesn't hurt a thing. My mom has an 89 maxima with 270,000 miles and she runs M1 too, changes her oil every 5,000. I change mine every 3,000.

That information is right. They have a special break in oil that is used in brand new cars. They say you don't need to change that oil for 6K to 7.5K. I also had my ex-girlfriend's uncle works at Honda Dealership that confirms this information.

I believe you are wrong with the oil. I have someone that works with Honda Dealership that confirms this information.
