     Thanks to all that replied to my question about the mixing of the oil.
     I feel better now. I plan to put another 10000 kms (6000 miles) on it
     before the next change. Should I change the filter now to a new one,
     or can it last to 20000 kms? Also, I noticed that when I start it,
     oil pressure goes to about 3/8 mark for 2-3 seconds, then goes to
     normal 3/4 mark. Is this because the synthetic is easier to pump
     around the engine, and full pressure isn't built up yet? I admit that
     I didn't pay attention to what it did before I switched to synthetic.
     Could somebody else with an R/T tell me what theirs does on start-up?
     Thanks a bunch.
