    Breakin period on new engine

    Well since I'm getting a new engine in my VX (Should have it back Monday or Tuesday),
    I've been somewhat curious about this. What is the break in period for my new engine?
    Should I run synthetic or normal oil for that breakin period? I'm going to ask my
    dealer the same questions, but I wanted some input from some fellow VX owners that
    actually know something about engines (A category that I definitely don't fall in).

    I've found some discussion about this on the wire here, but there is no consensus.

    Edit:
    I guess I should add that I normally run synthetic and change every 3000 miles. I've already weighed the cost/benifit of running synthetic and I don't care about the extra cost of synthetic.
    I'm just wondering about the breakin period.
