Drainback during break-in shouldn't be an issue.
By Dave Shoe - 04/24/2001 1:23:42 AM; IP 216.243.158.60
10W-30 seems reasonable for most break-ins, but then I'm not super fussy about the oil I select. I rationallize that thinner grades offer certain advantages over thicker oils, and thicker oils offer some advantages over thin oils. It depends on what mood I'm in that day and also how much throttle-hammering I intend to do before the next oil change.

To be sure, you're not gonna be racing the motor (very hard) during break in, so you shouldn't have to worry that much about the exact viscosity you select.

More bad advise from,
Shoe.
