I used halford mineral oil 10-40 for the first 500 miles then changed to the same oil done another 1000 then swapped to the good stuff (fuchs 15-50),,, I just drove it like a normal car , ie didn't wait for it to warm up really just drove it from cold off boost then drove normally once warm ,, if it needed a tiny bit of boost to get the car moving then I'd use some if not then I'd stay off boost but didn't baby it around

Hi
This is ideal.

One lot for the first 30 miles, another up to about 250 and then a final lot to take it to 750 miles or so.
Cheers
