usually run the first 500 miles on a decent mineral oil ..Then use a decent semi synthetic oil for the next 1000 miles at least in my opinion though i usually run it for 5000 miles ..

then run a fully synthetic from then on..

usually drop the oil at 500 miles then every 3000..

as for type usually run 15/40

lots of engine braking for the first 100 to help the rings bed in

I normally use Valvoline oils unless i'm buying from renault. However I've just discovered Millers have launched a budget brand called Falcon (to not devalue the "Millers" name. It's millers oil, in a differently labeled bottle.
