What engine oil to run after 500 mile break in

is a partial synthetic oil fine to run after your first 500 miles of break in? 383 stroker

Blueprint engines want you to put 3k on their engines before synthetic is used.

5That is on their roller hydraulic cam engines.​

But it's not full synthetic, everyone's telling me not to put synthetic in but a few have said partial is fine

 

[gpmorgan]

What type camshaft is in it?

 

[shiftpro]

Any empirical evidence on this?

I'm not challenging the opinions here, and I'm hope there will be more forthcoming, just wondering myself if there is evidence
besides what the oil companies say.

My personal oil philosophy has been run standard oil (not going to say 'cheap' oil) and change it OFTEN.

But I'm really open to learning more...

I do but I have a roller cam but Rotella is formulated for OTR trucks that need good oil so the engines run reliably for hundreds of thousands of miles I've used Rotella for years with out issue.

I'm sure it's all broken down somewhere. Not saying u have to use synthetic. I think it's more of a preference thing. There should be some advantage to using it.
