Default 402 stroker..what weight oil are you guys running?

Hey guys, just about to finish up the break-in on my 402 and have been running the Rotella 15w-40. What weight should I run with the switch to Mobil 1?

I tried a search, yet could not find any definitive info.....

TIA

I run amsoil severe service 20w-50. May not be what everone recommends, but that's what I've run for 20,000 + miles.

my 402 is built loose (nitrous). I replaced the oil pump with the heavier spring etc... and still only get 45-50 psi cold and 25-30 hot at idle using any oil. mostly stuck with 15-50 M1 before I switched to 20w-50 amsoil.

Wow, so you guys are on the heavier side of things...I was contemplating the Mobil1 European blend which is 0w40....

Anyone else want to chime in?

TIA!
