You can even buy specialized oil for engine break in these days , but
over all a straight 30wt non-detergent dino (NOT synthetic) oil is best.
The less additives the better. You want a little wear, but want it lubed
as well. Additives will embed in the metal rather than letting the rough
edges' all wear down as needed. IR rings to cyl walls, smoothing of
bearings to journals etc. A high ZDDP content is good... might as well
get it embedded in the metal as early as possible.
