if your running it in you want a cheap running in oil, NOT anything synthetic or synthetic based or the bores will glaze and the rings wont seal properly

yup, use a mineral based oil for running in, and then when run in after roughly 1k, its on to either the suggested oils above, or lots tend to prefer the mobil 1 motorsport 15w50
