Default New Cylinders.. First Oil change..

Hey guys-

Just hit 10 hours on the new cylinders.. Doing the oil change later today and am trying to remember what sort of oil I need to run in this thing for the next couple hours?

I am currently on my phone and unable to do much research, so I thought I'd post and see if someone could help me, while I'm enroute to the homestead..


Thanks guys..

Jeff

You should run straight mineral oil for probably 50 hrs, or at least until you see oil consumption stabilize. Better to run mineral oil more hours than less.
