Installation Instructions

1. Preparation: Before applying the break-in oil, make sure the engine is properly assembled, with all parts thoroughly cleaned and free of debris.
2. Drain Old Oil: If replacing old oil, drain the engine completely and replace the oil filter before adding the break-in oil.
3. Add Break-in Oil: Pour the Lucas Oil 10635 SAE 20W-50 Break-in Oil into the engine until the correct level is reached, following the manufacturer's specifications.
4. Start Engine: Start the engine and allow it to idle at various RPMs for the first few minutes to help the oil circulate properly and assist in the break-in process.
5. Monitor for Leaks: Check for any oil leaks and ensure all components are functioning properly.
6. Break-in Period: Run the engine for the recommended break-in period (usually between 500 to 1,000 miles or as per the manufacturer's guidelines). During this time, avoid extended high RPMs or heavy load until the engine is properly broken in.

Note: After the break-in period, it's essential to switch to regular engine oil for ongoing use.

Maintenance Tips

• Oil Change: Once the break-in period is complete, drain the break-in oil and replace it with your regular engine oil for continuous operation.
• Monitor Engine Behavior: Listen for any unusual noises or performance issues during the break-in period.
• Regular Inspections: Check the oil regularly for signs of contamination or metal particles, which could indicate that further break-in is needed or an issue with engine components.
• Filter Change: Make sure to replace the oil filter when performing an oil change after the break-in period.
