Years ago we always used a mixture of STP and 40W motor oil, but on the
mouse motors you could spin the oil pump to build pressure before running
the motor the first time. You just need protection till the oil gets there.
GM break-in additive was one of the best for a total rebuild back then. It
had a high metal % for the motors, but only for the first 1k miles. Too much
was bad.
