Mark, I'd rather you not use synthetic oil at all in this engine. I like the higher viscosity/higher oil pressure.

As for mixing, you can run through the rest of your Joe Gibbs break-in oil, and from there on out you can use the Rotella or another similar brand of non-synthetic with the same viscosity.
