I have heard vary may times that you should reg oil during the break-in-period, then switch to syn after the break in is complete.

Use synthetic. Every time. Your car came with Mobil 1 5W-30. You can usually find a 5 qt jug at Wal-Mart for about $20 +/-. Just pick up the extra 2 qts (you need a total of 6.5 qts) and an AC Delco filter and you're good to go.

if i dealer find out you are not using syn, they will void the warr. some will anyway

Check your owner's manual for specifics, but I believe the motor in the GTO requires a synthetic meeting GM Standard 4718M.

These AMSOIL products are labeled to meet that specification:
AMSOIL Series 2000 0w30
AMSOIL SAE Synthetic 10w30
AMSOIL SAE Synthetic 5w30

Well said Jeff. I am not sure why the question was raised in the first place.

I just made my first Amsoil purchase...running Mobile1 right now because it was the free change from the dealer, and I wanted to get a nice clear view of everything up on a rack. The dealership was real nice, and the mechanic went over everything with me.

I look at it this way...I've never owned a car this sweet and powerful...if I have to throw a quarter in a jar every day I drive her to pay for the best lubes out there, I'll do it. I pay for 93 octane for the same reason. Don't have to, but I do.

This was a wonderful "Goat weekend" for me...I simply love this car :cheers
