my first few stock engines I built with engine oil, no issues there.
I've been using my own special concoction ever since, but that one is a secret

No no no Wyns has Teflon in it and coats everything with a film and does not help the bedding in progress trust me on this its bad news for new engines. No additives and use a straight SAE 30/40 oil not multi grade to run it in. My opinion and experience.
Assembly use EP90
