I would be tempted to stick some mineral oil in there for the next 500 to 1000 miles and then switch to Silolene Pro S 10w-50.
Remember to do an oil filter change now and then again on the next oil change.
Make sure you keep the boost down low (under 7ps ish) and dont let it rev for any length of time. However on a run revs should be built up slowly and then let back down again.
