)and toss in the trunk. Start driving and keep an eye on consumption. Top as needed. Consumption should decline to near zero by the time you get home. If so, it's broken in
If it's still consuming oil, do not switch to Redline. Nothing wrong with the oil, but the rings are taking longer than thought ... I've had friends with built big motors that have taken close to 5K to get fully seated. That's measurable by consumption.
Once the consumption stabilizes, then you can switch to Redline if you want. Just like marine and aviation, most engine builders want dino oil there until broken in ... Myth, or not.
Speaking of VR1,while you're here in Tx,drop by an O'Reilly. The ones here have 5 quart jugs of silver bottle VR1 on "clearance" for $24.
