Valvoline make one too...but i just use a mineral based Valvoline with no friction modifier.

its one to think about... should it be ran in like they say to as well?

as i have heard 500km will do then a oil filter oil change...

i generally drop the oil and filter after a few hrs or 100klm.

I change the first oil filter after 10 to 20 minutes running. New oil filter and top up the Castrol GTX. Do 500 k's, usually to Bathurst and back, lots of uphill stuff to load the engine. Check the leak down, if OK then change the oil filter and oil to Castrol Edge 10W60.

well im not bout 2 months off starting my motor which is a tomei stroker motor with almost everything tomei which we all know is worth a pretty penny... so gtx still cheap but will do the job just fine its a 20w-50 isnt it..... wouldnt ya want sumthing a lil bit thinner to make sure it penetrates everywhere.... provided clearances are all correct it shouldnt matter but yeh im just curious as to this matter...

off topic wat do u guys do for a run in technique nethin special or unique???

My motor got 20 min run in on the engine dyno with basic synthetic oil, then map low end then full throttle!

riteeee from wat ive always been told u should never run in ur engine on ne sort of synthetic type oils due to they can glaze the bores hence shit sealing of the ring which makes for an unhappy engine.....

so yeh hows it runing these days???

Sorry my mistake, that was supposed to be "basic mineral" oil

I used the castrol GTX as someone said earlier in the thread.
