I'm guessing synthetic since he said after break in. I can't imagine there are many guys running dino oil after break in.

There are plenty who run Dino oil after break in. I have no idea why. But they do.
From my understanding, VR-1 is dino oil, there seems to be plenty of folks running the old stuff.
Actually I know a guy who only runs dino oil because he says synthetic oil is water based and will rust the inside of your engine.
Dont they run dino, because the engine wears in better for the first few oil changes before switching to synthetic? The manufacturers claim almost no wear with the synthetic, so dont you want your parts to wear slightly for the first thousand miles or so? Not looking to rile anyone up, just read that years ago from a builder, and it does seem to have some validity.

What the hell is wrong with conventional oil anyway?
Nothing. It's all I use. And not because of stupid myths. I use it because of the cost difference. I can get Lucas Hot Rod oil through work, and it's still cheaper than any of the synthetics, plus it has 2400 PPM of zinc. If I'm gonna dump it out after 3000-7500 miles, I don't see the need for the added expense.
my question is how long do you need to run a new rebuild before using synthetic oil like dyno time or 1000 miles 1500 miles ? thanks. or am I what they call hijacking ?
