If its a CVH use only 10w/40 MINERAL oil. Never use semi or better as this will hinder the bedding in process.

Change after the first 500miles again at 1000 then put in some full synth at 15oomiles (Mobil M.Sport 15w/50 is what i use). Always change the oil filter also and never use flushing agents of any kind.
