Re: Engine oil!!!

if you can't find eskimo virgin banana oil then run the cheapest oil on sale at the auto parts store.... run it for 15 minutes to break in the cam and anothe 15 to tune a bit.... then change it for the same cheap oil..... Take that out and run it for a few hours to break in the engine and seat the rings and change it again along with the filter this time.... then run whatever priced non synthetic oil makes you feel like you spent enough to get good oil. If you want to switch to synthetic it should be no sooner than the next oil change after the above..... Personally I buy the cheapest oil (from trusted manufacturers) I can find and change more often than most folks... I change filter every other oil change.

Nobody's jumping on you..... Are you seriously thinking you are getting picked on here?
