I am in the process of a total engine rebuild. I will be adding an oil filter and replacing the oil several times the first 500 or so miles. My question is, what is the best oil or grade for the break in period and how many miles? :hammer:

I think the standard Castrol GTX 20w-50 is all that is needed, but if you can, try finding Kendall GT 20w-50 (Autozone used to carry it). It has slightly better numbers as far as viscosity index and additive package from all that I've read. I assume your filter is a aftermarket paper type?
I always ened up changing my oil every 1500 miles with a "proper" filter as opposed 1000 miles with the stock mesh screen.
