Pitcom was at the factory and asked the question. They said that NO it did not have Mobil 1 synthetic oil in it and that they were getting filled with regular oil.
I would think that with Pitcom having the first RL and never owning a regular Sky, his questions would have been very clear on which model he was refering to being RL specific.
I don't understand how Pitcom would have been able to tell the difference between regular and synthetic. Once it's out of the bottle, it all looks the same to me.
Says who?? My ION Redline came with Synthetic straight from the factory. It's never had anything else in it. I've always been told that if you are planning to run synthetic in it, it's better to have it start that way from the very beginning, then to have to drain the whole system out, and change it over to synthetic. Synthetic oil isn't necessarly any 'thinner' than dino oil, it's just made from a different material. Technically, synthetic is slightly more viscous, and should be an even better choice for the break-in period, as it will provide even better protection against glazing.
