My friend wants to go look at this... http://www.autotrader.com/findacar/vdetail.jtmpl?car_id=116499627&dealer_id=&car_year=1997&search_type=used&make=EAGLE&model=TALON&transmission=MAN&distance=300&address=44841&advanced=y&certified=n&max_mileage=&max_price=&min_price=&end_year=2004&start_year=1997&drive=&engine=&body_style=&advcd_on=y&doors=&fuel=&color=&cardist=144 but it says right on that he only uses synthetic oil.... But he rebuild it just 8000 miles ago... Arnt you not spose to use synthetic after rebuild.

Off the top of my head, I don't think it would really matter whether a new rebuilt engine uses synthetic or not. After all, even a new LS1 will have Mobil 1 in it.

I have heard for the first 6000 miles you arent supposed to use synthetic or something like that on a rebuilt or new motor.

"If there is nothing mechanically wrong with you're DSM, then there is something wrong with you're DSM"

If anythign I think whatever you plan on using start with it. Condition the seals and gaskets with the oil you plan to use. But plenty of people switch back and forth without incident.

I do suggest a heavier weight oil to break in, I say use 10W30 drain it after about 500-1000 miles then again at 3000.

you DONT want to use synthetic just after a rebuild. you need the friction to help seat the rings and break things in. i switched back to synthetic after 4k miles.
