Andy, I'm assuming that this is at 500 miles.  I have never been a believer
in putting full synthetic oil in an engine this early in its life.  Some
will disagree, but I always use a semi-synthetic until around 2000 miles,
and then switch to a full synthetic.  I feel that 500 miles does not give
you good enough break-in period. BTW, the dealer in St. Louis agrees, and
recommended the same procedure.
