Jake Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I've just put my engine and box back in the car (98 VVTi tiptronic) after rebuilding it with new pistons, rings, 86.5mm over bore, etc. I believe I'm supposed to use mineral oil rather than synthetic while running it in, is that correct? After how many miles should I do the first oil change? I presume it's very soon. And the second one? after that is it back to the regular oil change schedule? How long should I run it in for? 500 miles be about right? Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Not sure which oil your surpose to use (Just been told running in oil) but the first change is at 500 miles i belive and the 2nd after 1200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I've heard of a mineral oil being used by OEMs as a first fill. Not sure if the viscocity would be the same or not. I can ask about at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
