Run it in on a mineral based oil for the first 600 miles with a few pounds of boost.

Then once run in, get some Silkolene Pro S 10w 50...awesome stuff

You need to run a cheap grade mineral oil at first then after the 1000 miles upgrade to a better oil,i used valvoline racing 20/50 in mine when it was run in and it was fine

I wouldn't use the Mineral Oil for as long as 1000 miles.
