looking for opinion on oil

[fctyson0]

hello everyone,have a2020 22sxbxp with a yamaho 200 sho.will be performing first oil change with 30 hours on it.my question is, should i change it out with conventional oil to make sure rings are seated or should i go to synthetic.

thanks in advance.

I would not use syn. till i had at least 50 hours or more on it.

maybe i should just stick with conventional for the rest of this year and change over next year.

What does the owners manual recommend? That’s what I would follow vs. a bunch of opinions ....

I believe the manual says, what the hourly maintenance intervals are. Does not specify when to switch to synthetic
