I started mine at 3,500 miles and continued using it to 125,000 miles. The engine doesn't burn a drop of oil. I started with Amsoil. They were expensive and also had synthetic gear oil for my manual transmission. I have since use all brands (Moble, Castrol etc.) without any problems. The only thing I look for is NOT a synthetic blend and the viscosity. Some synthetics get very thin.
