IF IT IS A FRESH MOTOR I WOULD RECCOMEND USING A QUART OF TRANSMISSION FLUID IN PLACE OF A QUART OF OIL. ALSO MAKE SURE YOUR VISCOSITY IS MATCHED TO THE WEATHER CONDITIONS.

I WOULD BREAK IN WITH JUST WATER IN COOLING SYSTEM AND DRAIN AFTER RUNNING AND CHECKING FOR LEAKS, NOTHING WORSE THEN HAVING TO RUN AROUND A FIND A BUCKET FOR A MISS INSTALL OF SOMETHING. MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE WATER AND CONDITION TO YOUR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS. PLUS THE WATER CHANGE WILL TELL YOU IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE IN THE COOLANT WHICH SHOULD NOT BE THERE.
