Based on 1% of the precincts reporting (actually a lot more!), the popular
vote is to use petroleum/mineral oil to seat the rings properly, then switch
over after some time on the engine. I will follow the masses on this one
without regrets.

I am completely rebuilding an engine that I was running on Redline synthetic
oil. I believe a previous thread had a consensus on running in with
non-synthetic, then switching over. Other than the cost factor of a few oil
changes (not insignificant), any reasons not to start up on synthetic? Any
bad experiences I hope not to repeat?
