New build break-in Got my 355 all together and I'm curious if there is a break-in precidure I need to do and what kind of oil I should run at first to break it in?

i put cheap 5w-30 in mine let it get to temp then changed it and the filter. make sure to fill the filter with oil first. then i drove around 400miles putting a load on the motor and letting the car engine brake. 7k on it now and dosent leak or burn a drop compression check was good.

cheap 5w 30 hmmm they made a break in oil but its only for break in. If i remember right its because its high in Zinc and you dont want to run it for extended time. RP makes one
