...i thought the other thread covered this but what the heck...
-use penzoil or similar running-in oil (is usually a monograde with few friction modifier additives)
-dump oil & filter after 300km
-while the hood is up, check coolant for polutants or excessive particulates
-replace oil/ filter with Mobil 1 or Mobil S (or what ever you were going to run normally)
-dump oil & filter after 1000km
-replace oil & filter with your normal oil
-replace oil & filter every 5000k or sooner if oil gets sticky & black.

There is probably a red-line running-in oil for turbo's but it would cost you arm+leg+left-testicle as that racing goo is pricy stuff.

...and do all the stuff we talked about in the other thread.
