well, from what i was told, a regular oil for the break in, lite in weight. (5w-30) than swap out for a synthetic o regular, heavier weight.

I got some significant ticking with the lite weight oil so i swapped out for a 10w-30..

I ran Mobil 1 10W-30 through the break-in period, and continue to run it. It is the best oil out there, IMO and I run it in all of my cars.

My dyno results are nice - thank Mobil 1, lol.
