The point I was trying to make was not to intrduce the syn. oil to early.I have used some of the hard faced rings and after 20 hard pulls on the dyno they where not seated with reg. oil and I am sure it would have taken much longer with the syn. oil.It really depends on the ring material and the bore finish and angle of the finish.Yes,you are right you will get bit with the regular oil too.Maybe I do need to try a couple different brands.
