I am not those guys, and they are very knowledgable.
I would use a good quality (brand name) 20w oil in the engine for about 15 hours, then change the filter and oil to a 10w 40 multi viscosity (brand name). Multi viscosity oils are as thin as the lower number when cool, and never get thinner than the larger number when hot (operating temp). THey are one of the main reasons engines are lasting as long as they do. Vary the load on the engine during that run in period. Not above 3/4 throttle, or 3/4 load, for the first hour but all over the range and load after that. Never let it run at one speed for very long.
