Engine Application

These break-in instructions apply to custom racing engines built by Van Dyne Engineering for BE Bearings. These engines are each hand crafted, blueprinted, and hand assembled.

Recommended Break In Oil

Break-in oils are specific purpose oils design for engine break in. They should not be run for extended periods of time or for normal engine operation.

Van Dyne Engineering recommends these two engine break-in oils:

1. LAT Break-In Oil

   2. Grade: 20W50
2. PennGrade Break-In Oil

Recommended Running Oil

There are many good oils on the market suitable for running the S65/S85 supercharged motors. Here is one selection chosen by Van Dyne for this type of applications.

1. LAT Synthetic Oil
   1. Web site: http://latracingoils.com/product/lat-synthetic-racing-oils-2/
   2. Grade: 20W50
2. Mobil-1
   1. Web site: https://mobiloil.com/en/motor-oils/mobil-1
   2. Grade: Create a blend of 55% 0W40, 45% 15W50
   3. Top off oil: 15W50

Recommended Break-In Procedure

Initial run in: Fill with LAT 20W50 non-synthetic oil for break in. Do NOT use a synthetic oil. Find a mineral oil that is 20W50, no detergent (if possible), and high zinc. At least 1200 parts-per-million on zinc. Since you are filling the new oil cooler, make sure to have more than 10-quarts available.
