What Engine Oil and Lubricants should I use?
Crane Cams does not recommend the use of synthetic oils during the initial break-in period for a new camshaft. Use a good quality grade of naturally formulated motor oil during this period. If you choose to use synthetic oil after the engine has been broken in, change the oil filter and follow the oil manufacturer's instructions.
When using either regular oil or synthetic it is important to pick the weight oil that best matches your engine bearing clearances, the engine's operating temperature, and the climate the vehicle will be operating in. Use the oil manufacturer's recommendation to satisfy these conditions. Crane Cams offers lubricants to aid during the critical break-in procedure, and to prolong the engine's life.
