Question N2Venom: Is that for your break in period?

Are you planning on a different oil after break in?
**************************************************
And to the Castrol multi vis standard oil issue: I have used it with great success in regular autos, non hi performance, and a 460 motor in my work truck...which is getting a bit tired, finally. Also in motorcycles for many years... my personal plan (unless someone here gives me a better idea) is to run some excellent 30 wt oil until the 3,000 miles break in is over, (From what I hear, synthetic is a big no no for the break in period) and then switch to 50/50 standard multi vis/synthetic. I hear it dramatically cuts down on friction and wear (synthetic) and when I added 50% synthetic to my old truck 460 it seemed to perk up just a bit. Maybe it's just wishful thinking

Any good reasons NOT to go this way for my new Ford crate motor?

From the studies I have seen, my plan has been to go with a premium Mobil 1 filter...several other good ones too I hear.

Anyone tried K & N oil filters? Good? Bad?
