<VV> Oil

[Joel McGregor]

Don't use break in oil for normal oil changes.
20W50 is way too thick unless your engine is really worn out.
I use Mobil1 0W40 in my high mileage Corvairs.
If your engine is fresh you'll want to use something 30W.  I would look at Mobil1's site for ZDDP specs and run whatever has the highest in a 30W 0W30, 5W30, 10W30 or whatever that turns out to be.
