I used SYNTH oil on my first start up no problems, Viper and Corvettes have it Mobile one in there brake in
when motor is ready to start
pull the fuel pump fuse, turn over for about 20-30 second in bursts to pump oil to the top of the motor......
1. start and check for leak shut down and check again
2. start and hold it at 2-3k rpm for 20 minutes, it goign to smoke like hell lol usally whe the smooke is gone you can shut it down
3. shut down and drain the slug out (oil full of **** lol) and change filter.
4. sart again and lissen for anyhitng that sounds funny. give it a few smal revs. let it cool
5. take it out on the road, go from 30-65 swoly then just let of the gas and cost to 25, then up to 60-65. do this till you puke lol. this seats the rings. if you have a M5 leave it one gear to do this. if you have auto don't use overdrive. you will feel the car come alive more every time you do it !!!
the go easy on the motor for 100 miles and finally at 500 i let loose
i hit my revlimiter at 350 miles just to make sure nothing ****y was going on.
this also depens on the rings you have. with dimond you really only have to seat them and there good to go. stock ring need 1000-2000 miles to break in.
this is how i did my camaro 3.8 this summer and so far everything is fine. every time i stoped i poped the hood and checked things out just to make sure. also i was loging stuff with the mac scan tool and nothing major happened and eveyhting was fine, i ran the test that shut off every piston to check load and they was all in .5% of each other
i did this all NA only because i didn;t have my hole turbo kit in yet to install it.
hope this helps
