brett_celicacoupe......whats your point??
how much is a lot of mileage? and what are you trying to say? synthetic in no-good? changing to synthetic too soon is no-good?
it is true that you can flog an engine almost straight away! my mechanic does v8 supercar engines and straight after a rebuild, engine dyno it is, for all engines! true again that long idling is no0good. all i'm saying is that, drive the engine normally. dont thrash, dont granny shift around! if the mechanic that rebuilt engine is good and fussy, he would have done the initial break-in for you.
