Premature use of synthetic oil can affect the running in process and damage the engine in the long run.

Is this a hearsay or there's some proof to back this up cos I really want to know.

What facts or data proven that so called premature use of synthetic oil can affect and damage engine? ::)
I can use 0w20 synthetic or semi synthetic oil for 1000Km or 5000Km service if I rich enough. As most of us know that synthetic can last for 10,000km and more expensive, therefore general usage would recommend to use mineral oil as the usage is only 1000km and subsequent 4000km, if using synthetic oil will be a waste.
Do you know performance car come with synthetic oil from factory? So do you now know the reasons?

That's exactly what the Tan Chong Advisor told me so you may wish to question his capability and knowledge if this statement is wrong. :unsure:

My SA didn't say anything about it... But I guess their concern is whether you would remember to bring the car back for servicing at 5k and 10k when you use synthetic oil from the start... The SA and the counter-staff kept emphasising that I needed to return at 5K servicing even with synthetic oil (as if I didn't know :devil2: )
