Years ago everyone recommended using non detergent oil for breaking in a motor. I don't hear much about it any more. Does anyone still use it?

We are putting a 1950 G JD back together now and have put NAPA 30 non detergent in it.

Non-detergent oil during break-in is standard practice for aircraft engines.

Years ago they used cotton cord tires and asbestos brake linings you want to go back to the olds it OK with me but I prefer using 10w 30 or 10w40 in my old tractors. I use 10w50 in the case LA because of it big sloppy bearings.

PS its real hard to find non-detergent oil just because it says 30 wt doesn't mean its non-detergent oil. Check the label real good.

I use the same oil that I will use in the engine after break-in. Years ago the recommendation was to substitute 1 quart of ATF for the regularly used oil.
