oil for break in

jacky599r · 06-13-2008, 06:41 AM

Dudes, searched and couldlnt really determine which oil is suitable for break in.
I know i need to go dino dino dino. But, from where i live, the air temp avgs 30 deg c, so i dont know if a w30 dino oil is gonna be good. The builder filled my freshly built engine with a 20w50 dino. So, im close to 800km and would like to swop the oil out for fresh ones. Just wanted more thoughts from you guys on what to do with....

Did the builder change the oil after initial fire and first time warm up? Otherwise all of that assembly lube has been circulating through your motor for 800KM.

What is your motor setup?
