I have a turbocharged 2.0 273 hp four cylinder with 2000 miles. It came with reg oil and I want to use synthetic. Some sources say let the motor "break in" with reg oil then change. Others say put it in, the sooner the better. Hyundai says any 5-30 that meets specs is OK. I think the turbo would benefit from synthetic. Like all my cars I plan to keep it for 10-15 yrs. HELP !
