Re: New motor



What about specific "break in" oils like AMSOIL Break-In Oil (SAE 30)?

http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/brk.aspx

Interesting pictures on that Web page anyway:  "When the engine is new, the exhaust ports will have a large area of oil residue (Fig. 3). As the rings begin to seat, less oil is passed and the oil residue area begins to shrink (Fig. 4). When the rings are fully seated and have formed a tight seal against the cylinder walls, no oil residue will be evident. Other common methods to determine if rings have seated include performing a leak-down test or horsepower measurements over time. Break-in duration will vary between engines."

Thanks,
Gary H.
