Do you guys run this oil mix on a brand new engine? Or do you break a new engine in with the conventional oil mix and then switch to the synthetic oil mix? Any chance of the rings not seating properly using the synthetic mix from the start?

Use the Ultra from the start and never look back...

Advantages of the Synthetic mix is no smoke out the exhaust; and, no accumulation of oil film on or around the muffler. It not only lubricates great, it burns cleaner and that's better for your saw and fuel efficiency. Enjoy the new saw. :cheers:

i have never used it but its a to quality oil, use it for the entire life span of the saw.
some guys crow about using synthetic for break in but personally i think thats a load of crap.
