A boxer engine in California's warm interior:  Follow Dennis's advice, but
use a stiffer oil, like a 20w-50 or thereabouts.

|Howdy, I'm preparing for starting up, hopefully, my new to me
|motor. According to the seller it has around 900 miles on it.
|But it's been sitting around for a while. I know it's been
|over 1 year minimum. Long term I'm going to use Mobil 1 but
|I'm thinking for the initial start up using something less
|spendy in the event something doesn't go as planned. I'd
|really hate to waste $30 plus $$ of the Mobil 1. Any thoughts
|on this matter would be gratefully appreciated. Wish me luck.
|Paul in Tracy
|I don't think it matters but the motor is a 2.1
