    Since you have all new seals and gaskets I would use Mobil 1 full synthetic or equivalent.

    I had always learned to NOT use synthetic for break-in periods. It is too slippery and the engine will never break in.

    yeah not using synthetic. I was looking at 10-30 conventional rotella t4 but it says for diesel engines. Idk, can I still use that? It has extra zinc which is suppose to be good for break in. I have no cat so I’m not worried about that because I read extra zinc isn’t good for the cat.

    Dirt, miles, and wear.
    Just use a decent quality conventional for the break-in and then whatever you want after that. I think the procedure probably matters more than the oil. Mahle Motorsport describes a process that should be good for just about any spark ignition engine.

    I like to use a break in specific oil with high levels of Zinc standard conventional oil has low levels of Zinc which in my opinion is not enough protection for break in.

    okay I’ll get that royal purple for initial break in then I’ll probably use the oil I have for second oil change. Also what coolant would you use in a new engine? I have a new 3 core aluminum radiator too.

    Then moving forward after that I would switch to full synthetic. Red or pink OAT (Organic Acid Technology) coolant is great for Toyota including an aluminum radiator.

    That’s perfect coolant and you don’t have to use Royal Purple any good conventional break in specific oil will be fine.
