run it no more then 3k. then go to mobil one the rings will be seated then. It wouldn't hurt to change to conventional oil after less than 1k then run it for 3k then mobil 1 full synthetic. I run mobil 1 full synthetic in my 6.0. I bought it used with 30k and changed it to full synthetic mobil 1 the day i bought it and ran it ever since. I have been running it ever since it came out years ago.
