There are blends already out there.  Why use it first before going full
synthetic?

Subject:    Gradual switch to synthetic oil?

Anyone thought of dealing with the perceived notion of switching to
synthetic oil by first going to a "blend" oil for a couple of oil changes
and then going to the full synthetic?  Keeping in mind that staying with
the same manufacturer might be a good idea.

All input welcome.  Have almost 9k on the Boston Bob rebuild and if I'm
going to switch, I guess now would be time time.
