Most manufacturers just tell you to vary the load, not sit at a constant rpm for prolonged time-frames and not over rev the motor (redline in every gear).
mineral oil seems to be the go for starters and then fully synthetic.
but i am sure the boys wiull know what to do.

When my dad bought his VY SS ute, I got to drive the car for much of the run in..... basically I used full throttle all the time when taking off, but let off about 2000rpm short of the revlimiter (which is 6000rpm). I also made an effort to drive up lots of hills in a higher gear.
Seems to have worked well as it hasn't burnt a drop of oil in its 5 years
