Synthetic is actully not a great break-in oil.  This is why VW and other
makers who ordinarily require synthetic in their new engines have a
requirement to NOT change the oil during the initial break-in period,
because they have a special break-in oil filled from the factory.

If your motor is well broken in you should be able to switch to
synthetic with no problems.  I like Mobil-1 15w-50.
