Thats a good question. I don't see how an engine could properly "break in" using synthetic oil. Synthetic is supposed to eliminate engine wear, to break in an engine means slight engine wear. I would use conventional motor oil to about 10k to allow the engine to fully break in. Then switch to a true synthetic oil like Mobile 1.

You might want to research brands. There are a lot of oil's claiming "full synthetic" but are actually petroleum based. Amsoil and Mobile 1 are true synthetic.

Stay away from Fram oil filters, they are junk.
