Not sure of hand dude. It has to be a minerial based oil dont use synthitic oil for running it in then do a oil and filter change at bout 300 and then at 800 roughly then move up to the better oil like synthitic

Yes the running in oil you've put a link to will be fine mate, it's what was used when my engine went on the dyno, although any cheap mineral oil will do the job. As for gearbox oil, i was recommended by bernie at cts to use a quality synthetic 75w90 oil (not mobil one he said) lol. Castrol make one that's suitable and is what i use!
