Sure. I suspect the oil is of less consequence and going for a break in oil of any kind should be fine. The oil is only used for about an hour or less depending on how long it takes you to warm up the engine, set ignition timing and then do the procedure.

After that the oil comes out as well as a filter swap and normal oil refill. I think any break in oil will work well in those conditions.

I think the oil only makes a difference if you don't drain and fill after the break in process. Only then will the heavy zinc and phosphorous come into play as they extend the anti-wear properties as was noted by the analyst.

For a short haul process of only break in, any non-detergent 5w-30 will work. I think that is mainly what you are paying for with break in oil is detergent free. Most regular conventional oils are packed with detergents.

 

Okay I'm about to order it then. Thank you for clarifying things for me. But should I swap in new break in oil after I break it in? Only reason I ask is because of this part in the Break In Secrets page that says use break in oil for 1,500 miles, (2414.016km).

 

That mechanic has had great success, I would be hesitant to deviate from his suggestions.

 

ok running break in oil for the first 1,500 then. thanks a lot man.
