Hi
My Superformance MkII is currently undergoing it's engine install, it is having a Roush 427IR with Borla 8 stack fuel injection - because of the Borla the engine has been supplied without initial test bed running.
Information from Roush on oil recommendation appears limited to "10w30. Synthetic after 3000 miles".
I plan to do initial running with Millers Competition Running in Oil 10w40 (Mineral), with an initial oil and filter change at 50 miles, and will be sure to run in quite hard to bed in the piston rings (e.g. Break In Secrets--How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power) - then what? More mineral or go semi-synthetic until 3000 miles?
I would like to get the car out on track once it's run in, though it will be mainly road use - would 10w40 (synthetic) be better than 10w30 - I know many advocate 20w50 but I wonder if this might be a little thick for road use. I will be using an Accusump for pre-oiling.
I've done several google searches but come up with more questions than answers. Any specific manufacturer recommendations? What about ZDDP levels etc?
Thanks for any advice
Chris
