Any cheapo 10W30 oil with a bottle of GM EOS for the initial start and cam run in. And just to be on the safe side don't start with the synthetics until after 3000 miles have passed. The Rotella 5W40 seems to be a good oil at a good price.quote:

So then something like Redline should work perfectly, but yet Redline doesn't recommend that you use their oil until you've broken in the engine.quote:

Break-in is the high points of the moving parts rubbing against each other. They can weld together then rip apart and be carried off in the oil. This leaves micro-tears in the underlying metal and allows increased rates of wear.
An oil with a very high antiwear capability allows these high points to press against each other and flatten instead of being torn off. Without the micro-tears in the metal, future wear is decreased.
I agree, a pint of GM EOS part #1052367 is a very good idea regardless of which oil you choose.quote:

What should it be? is there a spec that it would call for anything other than the original...quote:

I`m probably full of sh*t, I figured ZDDP was a friction modifier. Anyway, it is absolutly imposable to hone a cylinder as smooth as the manufactures do, therefore you need a different breakin procedure with a rebuild. A new engine cylinder is almost shiny from the factory, and believe it or not, they are assembled with very little oil around the ring packs and they break in very quickly. That`s why they can come from the factory with synthetics allready in them.quote:
