New Engine Break-In Oil

["Terry Smith" <terryrs@adelphia.net>]

Am I right in recalling that for the first 2K miles on a new engine, it's
advisable to run non synthetic straight 30 weight?

...Or is there something special?  (I seem to remember a new Toyota I had that
had an oil that seemed to have strange viscous properties, almost like chain
saw bar lube, though thinner of course.  What was THAT all about?)
