What is the recommended oil to run in an engine? Its done all of 5 mins running?

Ive been told asda or tesco value oil? Don't like the sound of that to be honest! How long does it take to run an engine in?

Cheers!

For me crap oil to get it running drain after a couple of hours running with some more cheap oil. Then CTV after 150-200miles.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I can see the point of using crap oil to run in but im slightly worried that it will leave nasty deposits throughout the engine? Will using a 'good' oil do any harm?

I run mine in on £6 Asda 20/50 for the first 200 miles. Changed it about 4 times in that space.

Then it's had Rimula for a bit while I was skint, then CTV.

If you are that concerned about it why not use the millers or the penrite proprietary running in oil?
