I'm new to the forums, so I hope I followed the rules.
I have a 93 Toyota MR2 Turbo.
I need advice on break in oil, how long to run it, and what oil to switch to once that is done. Filter advice would be awesome as well!
Motor is currently on a stand and being put together by myself...
Engine builder and machine shop installed Wiseco pistons, Eagle rods, King bearings all into a 5sfe block out of a 98 Camry. I'm using a 3sgte cylinder head. Cylinder head has BC racing 264 cams, 1zz shimless buckets, and ATS valve springs. Rev limit will be increased a solid 1,000rpm for a redline of about 8,500. It's using a 5sfe oil cooler, and oil pump; oil filter relocation (-10AN lines) is being put together as we speak to clear the exhaust. The block is capable of holding about 700whp(rods being the limitation), turbo (BorgWarner S252 journal bearing) and fuel system are only good for about 450hp which is were I plan on keeping it. Oh, and it will be running on corn.
The car is going to be street driven, some drag racing, little to no road racing or autox. Solid even mix of highway and city miles. Probably less than 5000 miles a year. Trap speed will be an estimated 120-130 mph, so it will see some speed at the strip.
I know the factory oil was Eneos 5w30 - here are the specs on it, but I doubt that matters now.
I'm a pretty big T6 fan, which I use in my truck and my GLHS, but I didn't think it would be a fitting application for the fresh motor.
So what is the best break in oil to use?
How long do run the break in oil?
What oil do switch to once that is done?
