Hey why do you guys generally switch to synthetic oil in a new motor? I waited until after I used up my 3 free oil changes on the tC so around 9k.
I am wondering because just got the woman a new car and can't decide when to switch. Car has about 2200 miles now and it is a Nissan Rogue so it is the 2.5l 4cyl that is also in the Altima.

Once you go synthetic you never go back.

My understanding is that new motors don't even require
break-in periods anymore.

Make sure you drain the old oil first!

I still say it should be broke in. Rings still need to seat.
