[QUOTE="FordFanStan, post: 6988082, member: 24501"] The full synthetic depends on what parts were used, clearances, methods of building, etc. For instance, the clearances on our trucks, the valve seals, rings, etc. are all specifically designed and built to use a Semi-Syn, so that is what I use after my break-in is over. As far as 20 miles and changing the oil, that is more so for the old school pushrod v8's with a single hydraulic cam and lifters. After the initial start-up and run-in you need to swap the oil, and for those cams and lifters and what not, it is good to use a diesel oil most of the time. That is how I broke in some other engines and they held up fine. I also always prime the oil system, on puchrods I will use either a oil pump priming tool or an old used oil pump drive, on the newer trucks you can just depress the accelerator all the way and crank.
