Amsoil Break in Lube

thanks for the link! i was told to run some low grade conventional oil for first 50miles and change it to the break in oil is this a correct process?

Yeah, I prefer the break it in hard in the first 50 miles method. Some have used this lube up to 500 miles.

Not required in most cases....cheap dino oil does the job.

Dedicated break in lubricant are formulated for break in only, which speeds up the process.

I used Joe Gibbs Driven BR20 break in oil when I built my 3V.

Any good break in lubricant will be high in ZDDP and will NOT be a true synthetic base oil. It's formulated for temporary use to seat piston rings rapidly.
