What oil should I run....?????
Thinking Dino for a few drives until I get everything settled and then switch to synthetic (oil cooler and lines from another car (mine got broken by my motor pulling help?)
Tried searching threads but no luck and I am sure this has been covered.

This depends on where you are. If you outside temps are at least 30*F o9r higher, even at night, go with a good 15W40 like Rotella.
If your in a colder climate than this, then go with a 5W40 until it warms up some. 5W40 is to thin though for normal summer driving with high temps. Flame suit on. Extensive research in fluid dynamics.
