Running in oil :?  I've never even HEARD of it.  :o   Just sounds like some-ones bright idea to relieve people of money. :shock:  Just put in real oil, then change at 500 mile. Change the filter as well. :wink:

To be fair, that way forward has worked for me for years....... probably before the smart ass who thought of 'run in oil' was even born..... :D[/quote]

LOFTY:
The oil has a very high cleaning fliud levels, which aids in removing all the grinding paste and dust out of the engine, all of which cannot be removed during and after reboring etc. I would normally only do about 50 miles before changing oil (when hot) and filter.

robbie:
Yeeh I could go along with that, but not 500 miles!! seems too excessive to me
