I know there are several posts conserning this issue. I had one question that I couldn't find an answere for.
I drove my 04 QC 400 miles and then switched to mobile 1 synthetic. A freind at work told me my rings would not seat while using M1. My question is even though M1 may lubricate better won't the rings eventually seat? It may take longer but wouldn't the engine have to wear at some point?
Are there any other negatives to running synthetic aside from longer break in?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

You're right, it will take longer but they will eventually wear in like they are supposed to. As for negatives, I can't think of any.

I always drive a new vehicle for about 1,500 miles and then
switch.
You can run synthetics in a new vehicle right off of the
showroom flow but it will take longer to break in the engine.
Two exceptions:
Always run petroleum in an overhauled engine for the first
3,000 miles or so and consult your owners manual for a
recommended minimum mileage if you plan on putting
synthetics in a diesel.
I run AMSOIL AME 15w-40 Diesel Engine Oil in my 98' Dodge
RAM Cummins Diesel but had to wait until the third oil change
according to Cummins.

Switching to Synthetic in New Engines or Rebuilt Engines
Regarding the use of Synthetic Motor Oils in brand new or rebuilt engines, it is recommended, however not mandatory, that the motor be initially operated with petroleum oil (or factory fill) up to its first normal drain interval. The advantages of doing this are as follows.
New engines or engine components generate high wear metals to begin with and may contain debris from machining and assembly. It is more beneficial to allow these wear metals to collect in an inexpensive motor oil than to circulate throughout the crankcase for extended periods in a synthetic motor oil. By operating the vehicle to its first drain interval with a petroleum oil (or factory fill), these wear metals and manufacturing debris collect in the oil and are then flushed out of the crankcase when drained. This allows for a much cleaner operating environment for the synthetic lubricant.
