[Fot] Break-in Oil

[Tony Drews]

Valvoline VR-1 "Racing Oil", non-synthetic is available at many local 
stores and has plenty of ZDDP (0.12 percent or whatever measure they 
use for ZDDP).  I dump a little GM EOS in too for extra measure but 
it should be fine without.  The other recommendations are good to but 
probably not locally available.

I run one weekend with the VR-1 and then switch to the synthetic 
version of the same.  Half the price or less of Redline or Joe Gibbs 
or Royal Purple.
