Read this article for a good understanding of break-in. Especially the part that says "What about synthetic oils during break in?" This guy says it is perhaps legend to not use synthetics right away, but also says the oil companies and car manufacturers don't recommend it. I guess probably 1000 miles is enough. I figured I'd change it at about 3000 to be safe.
