yeah they take longer. also ive heard that you can run synthetic in a brand new motor with moyl rings unlike one with standard rings becaues the moly rings dont gouge the wall like the other ones do....i could be wrong though. we had a guy put a brand new motor in his suburban and it had moly rings and he would come back every other week for a quart of oil for the entire summer because it was using so much oil. dont know exactly how long it take though, sorry
