Run that for a few K miles then use your regular oil. This is opinion based on research and how I do it, opinions vary. But everyone I've asked that had a cam fail at 5k miles didn't do a break in procedure so far, or didn't know because they didn't do the install.
I know I did have then change the oil while it was there. But yea makes me feel somewhat better it wasn't on my end. So again shifting my focus back to GPI
