Gee....wonder if they are trying to sell their own "Break in oil" listed on their list of products.

You should send this to all those car companies that have synthetic in their cars off the assembly line.

Little different breaking in a racing engine, that break in oil is a high zinc and phosphorus oil that you wouldn't want to put in a modern daily driver anyways.

Yes theres a fair list of vehicles that come with synth right from day one but not all .If the mfg says to use conventional oil first who am I to say their wrong.So are you saying that if the mfg says to use conventional oil first their wrong because cars come with synth from day one?We obviously both took 2 completely different messages from that article.The op,s question was answered in the 2nd post so in order to preserve peace I will surrender ok?Peace bruceb58.

Just do a normal oil change. The wee bit of remaining dino residue will mix and drain out in the next oil change.

I forgot to say to be sure to use ethanol free oil, too. :wink:

So are you saying that if the mfg says to use conventional oil first their wrong because cars come with synth from day one?

Never heard that one before. If the cars come with synthetic they usually say to use synthetic. For example, Mercruiser comes with semi-synth and says to continue using semi-synth.

This is interesting, I was under the impression that synthetic oils was just better. Like most here this boat is my baby and I will spend the extra money to do what is best for it.

So the question is synthetic oil better? Who here uses it? My boat is new and I thought now is the time to switch, maybe not?

Yes. Synthetic oil handles low and high temperatures better, and doesn't gum up or char as easily.
Other than costing more, there is no reason not to use synthetic oil. I use it in my lawnmower and everythng else.

Thank you....I will change to synthetic oil.

Synthetic the word is supposed to mean man made right? Synthetic oil is made from crude oil, nothing man made about it. Somehow a filtering process allows the makers to call it synthetic.

I guess my buddy that works for amsoil was not telling me the whole truth? Or are we talking full synthetic that was not mentioned in outboard oil.

Oooh, I was wondering how long it would take before SnakesOil would get mentioned The we're so super awesome we don't test our oil to the industry standard people. (ought to be good for 4 more pages)

No, that won't happen. Roffey asked a question and it was answered 57 posts ago.

If you're satisfied roffey , we can shut this one off and start an ethanol thread.
