Halfords advanced mineral oil is fine for running in. I changed the oil 3 times i think upto 1500 with mineral.
Then FS or semi Syn. Speak to oilman for his advice

You can run a 10w40 semi synthetic oil for running in, then run that type of oil for 5k miles, then change to a fully synthetic, though it does depend on the engine half the time
