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.
I guess the millions of engines built by GM, Chrysler, Ford, Porsche, BMW, etc don't break in properly if they come filled with a synthetic!!!
