My wife's new car calls for DEXOS oil only which to my understanding is synthetic oil. Conventional oil is what should be used during break in to my understanding. I want to change the oil here right now at around 750 miles but is moving to Mobil 1 this early going to be too early? It calls for DEXOS only so I can't really use conventional, but I want to get all of the breakin metal flakes out of there.
