Have them fill it with joe Gibbs breakin oil!

After 30-50 miles of varying rpms never staying steady but not getting on it at all, change it.

Then after 100 miles of getting on it just a Lil more with proper heat cycles because they are needed for the bearings and springs change it.

Again at 500 and after 500 then it's all yours start beating that biach. At the 500 mile mark is use a good oil like how Gibbs 10-30 or amsoil signature or amsoil zrod or Valvoline vr1 10-30 synthetic.

That's just me I'm sure others have their methods.
