Any suggestions for break in. 10-30 conventional with zinc additive? I'd research but back at work and have no free time but would like to pick up today or tomorrow.

Thanks in advance.

New motor? I'd just a dino oil and put in some additive maybe.

Someone made a post about oil somewhere, i don't remember. But don't worry about it too much, oil is dependent on tolerances used more than anything from what I've been told.

Hey that's my thread! Most of that is already after initial break in in my thread. What I did was just put in some really cheap 30wt for initial start up. I ran it for 20min between 2k and 3k rpms varying it the whole time. Then i put in amsoil break in oil. Ran that for the first 30 miles then changed the oil. Then i put in amsoil break in oil again and ran that to 250 miles then changed to a couple conventional.

Regular conventional though too

The traditional school of thought was to use a non-detergent oil with no friction modifiers, so the rings had more friction to establish their wear patterns against the cylinder walls.

The people over at Bob is the Oil guy keep finding high concentration of Molybdenum in new cars when they preform a UOA, so that kind of blows the old school theory out of the water.

Frankly, I'm not sure what to believe any more.

Map usually has amsoil break in oil in stock ;-) it's like 7 bucks a quart. Let me know if you do start her up. If I'm off work I'll swing up if you want a hand

Now in stupid carpet layer talk. Lol.

But yeah I don't think it matters as long as you get that zinc in there.
