Am I using full syn too soon?
Recently purchased an 08 w/ the 5.4L. Planning on putting the MC Full Synthetic in this week. I bought the oil while it was on clearance at Advanced Auto Parts. So my question is, should I not put in the full syn with only 12.5K on the engine? Im not sure if the engine is broken in enough.
