are people not reading my post above explaining why they recommend conventional oil?
it is risk mitigation.

It may have something to do with the combination of cylinder finish and ring type that they're using, but that's just a guess. If I'm not mistaken, the 5W20 was originally specified to improve fuel economy. What's interesting to me is that there is no classification specified, only the oil weight.I can't think of a single reason why they would recommend against synthetic oil.
