Thr reason you are told to break-in a motor with dino oil is because the synthetic is "for a lack of better words" more slick, and it slows the break-in progress. A motor needs to start a wear pattern and that is what most people refer to as a "break-in". Also I have always been advised to use the dino oil for at least 1000 miles. I do not claim to be an oil scientist. I have worked with thousands of brand new motors on motorcycles and this is what the factory reps all said. Hope that helps.....
