I don't agree with using a cheap Mineral Oil. Mine got run in on a Valvoline Racing Mineral Oil and changed about 4 times in the first 1000 miles.

The deareer oils have superior detergents and better thermal stability. But seeing as they arent going to get hot, and only in for a very small amount of time, why waste money?

i always changed the oil after the first 100 miles, then let it run for 800 miles on mineral.

after that whatever synthetic oil.
