He didn’t tell me what to use @ all

Anyone know?

I have a bottle next to me but I doesn’t say what or how is made. BAH

Mybe just give Hannys a call and ask :)

They'd probably recommend either FEO or Mobil 1

But given your cylinder walls aren't brand new I don't think its as big an issue. You just want your rings to bed in nicely.

idd hold off til at least 10 000kms for full synth. I think you said they did bearings.

they do need time to bed in.

should be fine at 1000kms, but best to wait 10 000kms, just to be sure.
IMO
