What's the best oil to use during the break in period?

[kirkland]

Just wondering, I've been searching for break in oil for 2 stroke engines. Just want to have it so when I'm done with the rebuild I'm ready. I know they say you shouldn't use synthetic oil but what should be used?
Thanks

Rule of thumb, the best way to break in a new engine is to use what you expect to run in it the time you own it. That way it has the same oil right from the get go.

Thanks for the info I've read where if you use synthetic oil during the break in the small shavings of metal are bonded to the engine rather than being able to go out when broke in. I'm going to break it in twice as long before doing anything over a few seconds of full throttle at a time, maybe 15- 20 hours just to be safe, thanks again. :cheers:
