Running in oil RV8

[Belle427]

Im about to start a refresh on a Tvr 3.9 Rover V8 and wondered which oil is recommended to run the engine in?
I have some Redline assembly lube which i intend to use sparingly, but wondered which oil was best for the initial start up.
I use penrite HPR 15 in normal operation which has quite a high zinc content but it is synthetic so maybe not the best idea for running in.

Interesting thanks, not someone ive heard of before but will take a look. I suppose their engine oils are good quality too.

Thanks for your input but I’m asking about a specific lubricant not the actual break in procedure.
