[TR] New but cheap 20 W 50 Motor oil

[Rye Livingston]

I don't see the advantage of running it only 30 minutes.  If you've got decent oil plus the bottle of ZDDP, like breaking in a new engine, why not run it for 300-500 miles?

Many not a terrible idea but it’s at least a waste of money. Just put Valvoline racing oil in it and be done.

I’ve already bought A small bottle of ZDDP from Moss and I plan to add it to cheap 20w50 and run it in my rebuilt Motor for 30 minutes. Moss says one bottle does 5 quarts.  It’s been serval years since this motor has run and I did not turn over when it was in storage. After this 30 minute run time I plan to drain it and put in Valvoline racing oil with zinc additive. I wonder if anyone thinks this is a terrible idea? I have run this motor for about six hours since it was rebuilt.
