[QUOTE="meaty mac, post: 3095151, member: 9208"] i would use regular oil, but change it every 500 miles. then at 2000 or so, switch to synthetic. dont stay at a set rpm range for too long, as this will help the rings set.(probably the most important thing to breaking in the engine) i would use the entire rpm range after a couple hundred miles. take it easy at first, dont baby it, but dont beat the hell out of it either. someone mentioned using the engine, not the brakes, to slow it down a bit..good advice, as this will also help your piston rings seal properly [/QUOTE]
