This is a serious statement:
Years ago vehicles were delivered with break in oil in them. It was
normally 10 wt or some GM/Ford?Chrysler blend.
It was standard to change this oil out after 1/2/3 thousand miles and
then start standard motor oil.
If your target is higher compression faster, them this could possibly be
a solution.
The general rules of break in oil is slow speeds, no overheating, gentle
treatment.
