This is a serious statement: Years ago vehicles were delivered with break in oil in them. It was normally 10 wt or some GM/Ford?Chrysler blend. It was standard to change this oil out after 1/2/3 thousand miles and then start standard motor oil. If your target is higher compression faster, them this could possibly be a solution. The general rules of break in oil is slow speeds, no overheating, gentle treatment.
