The "plain old engine oil" will drain back before the engine is put back
together if one does not reassemble everything at the same time. I would
prefer to err on the side of caution and use the assembly lube. With using
assembly lube, after 10 to 15 minutes of operation, the oil and the filter
will need to be changed. Assembly lube works better if you do not want to
be rushed, and you spread the rebuild out over several weekends.
