Not sure that's the best time to be running the cheapest oil? Synthetic no, cheapest, hmm...
Let's remember that today's cheapest oil is still pretty decent stuff for a 100 mile ring break-in. I do not know of an oil quality failure of an engine. I have read of blaming the quality of oil . . . for an engine failure. :blackeye:
