The reason synthetic isn't used for break in oil is that it lubricates so good that the engine doesn't get any wear to break in proper. Ring and bearing need a wear pattern for break in. Now once you have this pattern you don't want more wear so that is where the synthetic comes into play. Also the oil filter should be changed haft way through the service time for the dirt you keep talking about. If you need more information on this Ams oil is very good at getting back to you so just write to them. I am sure they are much better explaining this to you then I am.

Your going to tell me it works so good it wont break an engine in properly so you have to use regular oil but yet ever car manufacturer will uses synthetic from the start in there vehicles and don't use any break in oil. Yet there's not a mower manufacturer that recommends the synthetic for there mower engines. Ya know synthetic oil is good stuff and I'm not saying it isn't if used in the proper application and that's in a car or truck not in the lawn mower engine where it's not needed if you change the oil and filter the way you should.

I sent my wife for oil once she came back with some $2.50 dollar store oil.

She said it's just oil why spend $6 a jug on it.

I use it in my 4 stroke trimmers.

For the amount we are supposed to change oil (pros nearly weekly, homeowners 1-2) times a year buying anything expensive would be a waste
