Lucas Break in OIl Question

[dpcd67]

Can I use Lucas 30W break in oil, as a continuous use oil?  In a 340? It contains lots of zinc so I think it should be good.  I test ran it to break in the cam, and drained it out, and I planned to put another 5 quarts in to use for running. Any reason not to?  (disregard outside temperature) I also have some zinc additive that I will use at some point in the future, mixed with some regular, modern, oil.

I would run performance oil such as Lucas. I would think that break in oil is exactly that. Lubricates but promotes wear in to bed the components. Or use ordinary oil with the additive like I do. Just my thought.

I don't think break in oils have the normal detergent packages and should not be run much longer than the break in period

I asked Lucas this and they said to just use the break-in additive, much less expensive.
A $12 bottle from Advanced is enough for 3 oil changes.

Ok, I was wondering that it might cause more wear so the bearings and rings can seat quickly. I have some Lucas zinc additive so I will use that with some Pennzoil or Walmart oil. Just kidding.  thanks.

Zinc is the issue, I use the cheapest oil I can find with the Lucas additive.
 Usually Walmart, they don't actually make the oil is just rebranded.
I refuse to pay $75 for an oil change I do myself.

Not kidding, but it's your money.

Joe Gibbs is a great break in oil but you can choose what you like.

Its already broken in and I used Lucas.
