Synthetic oil for my brand new GT
I just got my Sunset Pearl GT and I already put 100 miles on it in 2 days. I want to put synthetic oil in it now so as many miles as possible are on synthetic - I swear by it with every car. Is it a good idea for this car now?

I agree. Break in is essentil for the life of your car. be nice to her and no hard driving for at least the first 500 to 1k to make sure everything seats well in the motor. regular oil will condition the seals then you can move over to synthentic. i even sugest maybe a blend oil befor going all the way.

Thanks for the responses. I havent changed the oil yet. I only have a little over 100 miles on it. The reason I swear by synthetic is the 196,000 miles that I have on my 1995 Dodge Avenger ES (the same as the Eclipse and built by Mitsubishi). The transmission is gone but the engine is still good. Never had any major repairs to it. I am sure it is from my faithful use of synthetic oil.

bottom line, if you're set on spending so much money, just wait until you ahve 3000 miles. synthetic is slipery and thinner. normal oil on a new engine will work its way into all the seals and set there. synthetic will just leak through. if you dont want your motor to leak oil use regular for a while first.
