New TS1

Just in the process of picking up my recently rebuilt motor and I was thinking of running it from its 1st fill up using groundsman oil I’ve read of a few using this oil what % should I use?
I have 20 litres which I pick up and usually run on rock oil
Cheers Shane.

Did a 1000 miles on my Avanti running in. Country roads, plenty of gear changing and up and down with the rev's. Used 4% SIP and the rings got stuck up with too much carbon. 4% was too rich for running in. With not giving it the rev's and heat it needed it wasn't burning off the oil. Would start with 3% if i did it again. I now run @ 2%.
