I purcheased a 2006-Chevy 2500-HD last June & I'm almost at 3000 mis. I want to change my first oil change @ that mileage. I have heard that you cannot change over to Synthetic motor oil till you get 20k miles on engine or the rings won't seat. Is there any body out there that knows for sure before I screw-up a new engine? The dealership uses what ever they have on the shelf for a diesel. Anybodys help out there will be greatly appreciated.
