Can I switch to synthetic after my first 8000km oil change??

Yes, but many of those high performance cars go through hours of testing at the factory. Essentially they're broken in when they are delivered new.

I very much doubt they do more then drive a new Vette very far from assembly to customer delivery. Stop by the local Chevy dealer and look at an odometer.

The odometer has nothing to do with it. It's broken in on an engine test stand. The car isn't broken in, the motor is.

If driving the car from the plant in Kentucky to the dealer, the folks on the coasts and border states would have a motor more broken in than someone in the next state over.

2.2 ecotech is a high preformance motor?
it comes with mobile 1 full synth from the factory...0 miles

so there goes the break in, and high preformance motor theory

I dumped my dino oil as soon as I could, can't remember the exact mileage, but it was under 1000
