Need Advice on Breaking in a New Engine

posted by  someone claiming to be passport on  Thu Jul 11 12:05 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I am almost done swapping a rebuilt 940 turbo motor into my '92 wagon. The engine shop doesn't offer any advice on what kind of oil to use for the first 500 miles. My plan is to run this car on Mobil One but I've heard that isn't a good idea for the break in period as synthetic oil doesn't allow the rings don't seal properly.

I remember back when you bought a new car they put a break in decal on the windshield. Am I the only one who remembers those?


Any experience or sage advice for me on this?
