When he had it rebuilt it was done in Georgia, then shipped back to California, I believe from where it was unloaded he drove it back home 18 miles. So yes the car has already been started, however I thought that with so little mileage I could simply change the oil and put something else in to promote longer and/or better life of the vehicle. Am I mistaken?
So now the motor is basically broke in.
Now you want to use an oil with zinc or zddp.
Some oils, the zinc is already added, some oils there is no zinc, so you add it yourself.
Now it's up to you to do some research on oil brand choices, and make your decision.
Most oils of today are very good.
Also viscosity will be another thing, you will need to make a decision on.
Colder months thinner oil warmer months thicker. Generally 30wt is a good starting point, or
10-30.
Thousand ways to skin this cat.....Do some research, you'll be fine.
