Hi Geof

Consider using Penrite Oil Products for your break in oil as well as our
HPR 30 a 20w/60 replacement for SAE 30.  The running in oil is used for 300
miles then changed to the HPR 30.

If you would like a brochure packet let me have your mailing address and
I'll get one in the mail for you.

Thanks and God Bless
Jon
