As odd as it may sound some engine rebuilders have been recommending you run a rotella t diesel oil for break in. The same additives in the oil which help prevent soot build up in the oil apparently also help the engine break in and the rings seat more effectively.

Yea I heard about the rotella, but I'm going to run the vr and add zddp additive

Don't put anything in the oil. There's a thread here a lot of is were involved in the actually showed adding things took AWAY from the oils ability to protect. Lowered its shear value and all.

Whatever oil you run, run it straight.

Valvoline VR-1 has plenty of ZDDP right out of the bottle, add no more.
