New 4 stroke 25cc Makita engine - mineral SAE 30?

[julianm]

Actually treating myself to a new Makita blower with a 4 stroke engine, only 25cc! I have stock of fully synthetic 5-30 engine oil & can`t help thinking that it must be better in most aspects than a straight mineral 30 oil - what do you think about using the synth from new?

Id put some cheap stuff in for the first few hours to let it bed in then you could go for the better stuff.. mind these small engines dont have a filter so frequent changes do more good than anything else...
