S2, what engine oil AFTER a rebuild?

What grade oil should you use after a rebuild for the first 100-200 miles?

Cheers all

I used a cheap as chips 20w 50 mineral oil. Was in the car for 600ish mile then changed for 10w 50 fully synthetic.

Worked a treat, engine is sound and has 170psi across all 4 cylinders.
