Advanced formulation of high quality solvent refined mineral oils fortified with special low volatility components and appropriate additive treatment. Carefully formulated to offer an extremely high protection level to new engine components and speed up the bedding in process.Ideally suited for test bed running.RUNNING IN PROCEDURE & DISCLAIMERMillers Oils Running In oil has been designed to last the full running in procedure. Do not use fully synthetic or semi synthetic oils before the process is fully completed as this can lead to bore glazing.When the engine has been built to a high standard, fill with running in oil to the maximum mark on the dipstick.Run the engine at peak torque for approximately 500 miles on the road or alternatively on a test bed/rolling road.Indication that the procedure has been completed includes:Compression ratio to manufacturer’s specification.Increased engine performance e.g. acceleration.Improved efficiency.Reduced oil consumption.Although Millers Oils provides a general guide for the running in process, the onus lies with the engine builder to ensure that the correct procedure per engine is completed effectively.
This guide is for engine builders and motorsport enthusiasts who need optimal engine performance and longevity. Millers Oils CRO 10W40 Motorsport Running In Engine Oil maximizes power output and protects engine components during the bedding-in process. A caveat is that it is designed for a specific running-in procedure and should not be used with fully or semi-synthetic oils before completion.

FAQs
How long should I run the engine with this oil?
The oil is designed to last the full running-in procedure. Run the engine for approximately 500 miles or until the bedding-in process is complete, as indicated by improved performance and compression.
Can I use this oil in my daily driver?
No, this oil is specifically designed for the running-in phase of new or rebuilt engines and is not intended for regular, long-term use.
When can I switch to a different oil?
Once the running-in procedure is complete and you observe improved performance, you can switch to the appropriate oil for your engine's specifications.
What happens if I use fully synthetic oil during the running-in phase?
Using fully synthetic or semi-synthetic oils before the bedding-in process is complete can lead to bore glazing, which can negatively affect engine performance and longevity.
What does the running-in process achieve?
The running-in process optimizes the fit between engine components, especially piston rings and cylinder bores, which will result in better compression, less oil consumption, and greater overall engine efficiency.
Troubleshooting
Engine performance issues after running-in.
Ensure the running-in procedure was followed correctly. Check the compression ratio, and consult with a professional engine builder for further diagnostics.
Excessive oil consumption during or after running-in.
Check for leaks and ensure piston rings have bedded in correctly. Consider consulting a professional to evaluate the engine's internal components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the engine has been built to a high standard.
Filling: Fill the engine with Millers Oils Running In oil to the maximum mark on the dipstick.
Running-In: Run the engine at peak torque for approximately 500 miles on the road or a test bed/rolling road.
Monitoring: Monitor for signs of completion, including the compression ratio reaching the manufacturer’s specifications, increased engine performance, and improved efficiency.
Oil Change: Do not use fully synthetic or semi-synthetic oils before the running-in process is fully completed. The onus lies with the engine builder to ensure the correct procedure is completed effectively.
