New camshaft, break-in oils need advice
I think the search features down or something so I'm just gonna ask:
What type of oils do you guys recommend when breaking in a new camshaft (Comp Cams 59300)? D16Z6. I plan to do a oil change before installing the cam but I was wondering what's the best route for break-in oil; just buying plain old break-in oil, synthetic with a break-in oil additive, or non-synthetic with a break-in oil additive?
Usually I just run RP 5w-30 synthetic.
Also, is the assembly lubricant usually included with the cam or no?

Yeah it's just a cam install. I wasn't sure if any special oils aside from the assembly lube were needed, if so I wanted to add that into my order before they shipped the cam on Wednesday.
