I just got a bunch of plain old Coastal 80/90 gear oil at my FLAPS. If its good enough for red-beard...
For motor, use dino kendall or castrol 20/50, unless its real cold where you are.

Nope...I'm in Florida...I'll be OK.
I know it's good to re set the valves, when should the oil change out with thr run in?

I agree: non-detergent 30 weight for 500 miles, then the QUALITY oil you prefer.
