break in oil

Just wanting some input .Got a brand new forged 2.3 and dont wana mess it up

Any standard 10/30 or 10/40 is all you need. The whole goal is to have the rings seat right away. Just make sure you pre lube the oil pump case.

Break In Secrets--How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power

Happy Reading.

For the record - Non-Synthetic is what I have used for every break-in. Changed the oil at 25,50,200,500,1000, and then every 3000. Switched to Synthetic at my 1000 mile mark.

3 more words on break- in:
NO SYNTHETIC OIL !!

Use Valvoline, Halvoline, or similar 10 w 40 Petroleum Car Oil for at least
2 full days of hard racing or 1,500 miles of street riding / driving.
After that use your favorite brand of oil.

Synthetic Oil + New Engine = BAD; be sure to only use CONVENTIONAL oil for the initial break in.

I always use breakin oil. Used Gibbs for years and lately I use Amsoil break in oil. Don't run 5W30 in these things, it's shear strength isn't up to the task. But that's my opinion and you'll get several more here.
