low boost, either running in oil/cheap oil, no thrashing!!!,

i ran mine in at 10 psi, on running in oil for a 1000 miles

with oil changes at 300,600 then mobil 1 oil at 1000, then most important a setup!been ok up to now

I would tip the first oil out after 20km. Then use some reasonable quality mineral for 1000km. After that fill with good synthetic and gradually start using the car normally. In the first 1000 I'd try to drive between 2,500 and 4,500rpm only.

Obviously a new filter at every change too.
