Why would you run dirty break in oil in your brand new motor? Is oil that expensive? I break a motor in and drain the oil, replace the filter and cut the filter open. the oil will look metallic if you drain some into a glass jar as it's coming out.
I also install rare earth (neodymium)magnets throughout my motor, if you've never used one you have no idea how strong they are.
As for oil I went from Mobil 1 with Lucas Zinc additive to Valvoline VR-1 10w-30 and now Lucas Hot Rod oil. Lucas supports the sport and the oil is good. It's been available from Summit at a good price and with their policy it's free shipping. Couldn't buy VR-1 10w-30 locally so I was using Amazon for it.
