I used Phillips 20w 50 for breakin on my C-85,O-200 STC, Titan cylinder engine.
Ran it hard the first few hours until the oil temp came down and stabilized.
That was 200 hours ago. I'm very happy with the results. I'm still using
Phillips 20w 50.

Last year at Oshkosh I picked up a "Engine Care" phamphlet at the Continental
booth. Very worthwhile and interesting reading about NOT babying your engine.
Don't baby it. Kevin is right.

Put in mineral oil and take off and run the piss out of it for about
an hour until the oil temp stabilizes to break it in.
