Oil type for rebuilt 3.0
I know this has been discussed many time before, but I could not find any threads on it when I searched. All I wanna know is:
What oil would you suggest to use in an engine that has not seen oil since a rebuild?
I would like to use a synthetic from here on out (I wont be getting amsoil, but anything else will do). Can I start with the synthetic right off the bat?

Do not start with syn from the start. It will not allow the rings to break in properly!!
Go with regular old Valvoline 10w30 dyno oil. I recommend going 1-2k miles then changing it again with the dyno oil. Then when you reack 5k or so, make the switch to syn.

Myth: You should break in your engine with conventional oil, then switch to Mobil 1.
Fact: You can start using Mobil 1 with SuperSyn™ in new vehicles at any time, even in brand-new vehicles
