<VV> RE: Break-in Oil & Filter

[J R Read_HML]

You might even use the Purolators for break-in.  The Wix (NAPA GOLD) are
over $9.00  The Purolators - I think - are around $6.00

If you are only running an hour or two, the cheaper ones should be OK to
use.  Especially since you are probably standing there watching everything.
