AMSOIL SAE 30 Break-In Oil



Friction-modifier-free formula helps rings seat properly for maximum compression and reduced blow-by. Excellent film strength and proprietary anti-wear additive package help ensure cams and bearings are protected during break-in. Delivers competition-quality engine preparation.

See the product data sheet for full details.

QUICKLY SEATS RINGS

  • Friction-modifier-free formula allows sharp peaks on newly honed cylinder walls to partially flatten, creating more surface area for rings to seat.
  • Forms a dynamic seal that increases compression, horsepower and torque.

PROTECTS CRITICAL PARTS FROM WEAR

  • Contains high levels of zinc and phosphorus (ZDDP) additives.
  • Delivers excellent protection for splash-lubricated parts, like camshafts and lifters, during break-in.
  • Increased film strength protects rod and main bearings from wear.

    The proper oil!
    By  ROD,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Washington  on  July 02, 2025
    I build custom street engines and racing engines. I've been using Break in oil in every engine for years. It has the proper additive package for flat tappet cam break in, plus limited friction modifiers to aid ring seating. Even in 900+hp sprint car engines we can see the EGT's change as the rings seat! GREAT product!
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    wesome Break-in Oil
    By  DANIELE,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Windsor, Ontario, Canada  on  June 30, 2025
    I have used this before a couple times and I would not use anything else as this has bee one of the best break-in oils I have ever used. I have just put together a SBC 383 stoker and I am about to put it on my engine start up stand to run it. I wish I could put a video of it on this review. Please Amsoil you should let us be able to put videos/pictures to our reviews to show what we are doing. Thank you for the best oil products out there.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Highly Trusted Brand
    By  DDM,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Cocoa, Florida  on  April 16, 2025
    Purchased a new Generac 15.5 Kw generator for our hurricanes. Knowing that Amsoil is the pioneer of API rated synthetic motor oil, it was a no-brainer to go with their Break-In Oil to start protecting my valuable asset from the start. I plan on moving to the Amsoil Small Engine Oil after the break-in time has been met per Generac specs. Looking forward to a long reliable enginge life to support my emergency needs if required.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    100% happy
    By  ACEY,  a  Verified Buyer  on  June 04, 2024
    So i went with the break in oil and i was not disappointed. the oil filter combo went the distance of the break in. for my Equinox this was 500 miles. zero metal flakes after the first change. the oil still had a nice red color and everything is sealed up and broke in so smooth. they got me to total seal compression. i am 100% happy as this is my first use of a complete Amsoil from New Engine day 1. i will not ever use another product again. Amsoil has a new life long customer!!!! keep it up. i am one of many who understands Amsoil is the way to Go now.
    Bottom Line
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
