Engine oil ( running in )

[sypher]

Hi where can you get running in oil in Scotland as all the motor factors I've checked and parts suppliers don't stock this item!!

Thanks.

i would just get some cheap oil, then run it in gently for 500 or so miles, then change it for something decent.

thanks, anyone else suggest where to get my hands on some?

Is there actually such a thing as a "running in" oil or is it just another synthetic oil?

There is such a thing as running in oil, basically though you just want an oil that isn't friction modified.

You don't use synthetic oil to run a motor in mate, It's far to slippery .

So regular mineral oil for the run in? What rating? 10W40 or similar?

Use a mineral oil for run in... I personally used the recommended Millers 10w/40 Running in Oil...

Running in oil is just basic mineral oil, nothing more.

A good 10w-40 semi is fine to run in with.

Cheers
