Machine oil with florescent dye. Why? It's cheap. The florescent oil tells them that you're not doing your first oil change at 25,000 km's.

Semi-synthetic for break in?

Same with Honda, florescent dye is for oil leaks.
I can just imagine a flat rate tech having to break out the dye gun for every first oil change lol.
Jesus.. It's spelled fluorescent. It's fluorescein added to oil or coolant.
It's rarely used in some production runs where they suspect a leaking problem at the factory. They give the engine an inspection under UV light, as new oil or fluid is clear and difficult to see on a new engine. It's a very good way to quickly detect even the smallest leak.

Yeah, I never understood why people would not... You have a book written by the people who built the machine, oh, **** it, ill just ignore them because I know better.
Just follow whatever it says if you have a question. If you dont care, do what you want, but dont ask for the best advice because the best advice is written in the manual...
