I'm thinking that straight-weight non-detergent motor oil is sometimes
referred to as mineral oil.

Of course braodly speaking it's pretty much all mineral oil and for
that matter it's all synthetic.

So I suppose your question may be -- what should I use for break-in --
and I would expect there are some much better choices than straight
weight non-detergent oil.
