Synthetic oil ????
Comming up on first oil change (3,500).Thinking about changing to Mobil 1 5/30 full syn. Good or bad idea? Thank's Lee

I'd at least run regular oil until the motor breaks in 15-20k

agree let it break in before going over to synthetic.

One has to wonder why many high end cars come with synthetic in the crank case from the factory. I guess they never break in.

Most new cars are mfg. to such higher specs that "break-in" is just a matter of the rings to properly seal.There are onlt a very few that come from the mfg's with full syn in the crank case.One that comes to mind is the Chevy ZR Vet.

The 2009 Maxima and the Altima hybrid also come with synthetics installed at the factory. It also looks like the new 370Z is coming with synthetic.
