Success & Running-in Oil



Hi Thomas

Great to know your Stag is nearing completion.  Will we see you WITH YOUR
STAG at the German Autumn meeting at Titisee in October?

The Stag should be run in with 'simple' oil.  This means definitely not
synthetic-based oils, but an ordinary mineral oil using minimum additives. 
This is because many modern oils contain additives which help to prevent
engine wear.  If these fancy oils are used, they may cause the piston rings
etc., to not 'bed in' properly, so your car will use oil and will also not
give good power.
