First you say that no break-in period is needed, and then you go on to describe the break-in period that should be followed for a new car.
"Keep your speed down below 50 mph for the first 50 or 60 miles to allow the rings to settle into the piston groves..."
Most of the articles I have read suggest that a problem with improper ring seating is "more likely" to occur with immediately switching to a full synthetic, not that it will definitely cause a problem in every case. The experts suggest the breaking period should be anywhere form a few hundred miles to the first scheduled oil change, to 10K miles, depending on who you ask.
Most experts have also said that automakers who use synthetic as factory fill have taken special steps in the machining process to greatly reduce the problem of improper piston/ring seating. That does not mean that all automakers or all vehicle are alike in this regard, especially if they do not use synthetic as factory fill. There is no denying that when Chevy first specified factory fill of synthetic on the Corvette, they had a much higher incidence of problems with improper ring seating. Obviously, they have done something to alleviate that problem.
Given my own experience of changing to Mobil 1 full synthetic on a 1998 Camry V6 after the first oil change (5K miles), and having the engine perform flawlessly thereafter for the last 10 years, I would inclined to repeat that procedure again with a new car. It won't hurt to wait 5K miles before switching to synthetic (unless maybe you live where it is below zero), so why even get so worked up about it.
Often times the advise about when to switch to a full synthetic comes from people who think synthetic is a waste of money, and who presumably do not use it themselves. So consider the source of the advice.
