Re: Break in oil

I used their original break in oil last year in my 396 and it's running strong today.i believe the only difference is the viscosity.the original is 15w-50 .i think you would be safe with either one imho

Re: Break in oil

I've always used what ever (no cheapo junk) I was going to run and never have had issues. Done that with mild daily drivers to 10,000 rpm race motors. Just change it after break in. My unsolicited .02 worth

Yes, the Joe Gibbs products are good...a little pricey, but good. If it's easy to find, I use the Brad Penn break-in and assembly lube on all of my hot rod and race engine builds.
