My son just bought a new 2011 Kia Forte 2.0L which I will have him run a few short 3K OCI's to break in the engine as well as clear away any new engine deposits . It stands to reason you would want a good shot of moly for engine break in so at this time PYB 5W 20 has made my short list - any others to consider ?
Best Conventional for New Engine , Short OCI ?

I would add Formula Shell, VWB or Kendall to that list for up to 5K to 6K.
Anything under 3K....SuperTech from WM, Peak or any store brand would be fine to clean out any contaminants. Why spend a lot on oil if your just going to use it to clean out any excess metals or debris?

what about a TI additive like in some of the mobil products. Would that be a good one for break in??
One thing to watch out for is to be sure you use the oil specified in the owner's manual. I would also follow the manual's break-in instructions.
Chevron is another good one.
thats a gdi motor isnt it?
For my first 2 OCI's on my Honda 1.8L I used PYB and VWB. Engine runs great.
The application chart says you can use 10W-30 above 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

The cheapest SN rated oil you can buy!!
Kia recommends 5W20 synthetic blend.. I would run Mobil 1 Synthetic. Forget that conventional junk....

For short oci's? Really? A little bit drastic of a statement don't you think. Conventional isn't junk it was keeping automotive engines running long before synth was even a thought to use in them. Unless you are extending your oci or in extreme temps conventional is as good as any synth oil.We all have our own opinion though.

if you are looking for moly, PYB probably has the most. this is my best guess based on the 5w30 results here but who knows:

honestly for that short of an OCI though, just buy the cheapest name brand dino you can find and you will be golden. i think it's napa that has an awesome sale on mobil super 5000 right now.

I have been running conventional since 2006. my car is 238,000 miles. No problems.
I am going to run conventional on my 2010 honda. I probably go with mobil super 5000 or castrol gtx which I can find easy from walmart.
I really want to run shell or chevron 5w20. They are not easy to find.
