As the engine is already blueprinted and balanced, I would drive the thing like you stole it.
Less blown by later on in life. |

"Run-in oil" is pretty much just another name for cheap-ass mineral oil.
Dont bother with anything except what is recommended for an STi, because thats what the motor is out of. |

Use a mineral based oil for the run in period, i.e. a cheap shit oil is perfect! Have a read of this controversial method: Motoman
When the GC8's were released Subaru recommended staying with the original mineral oil until at least 12500 km. Then change to a fully synthetic. Subaru engines risk glazing up if you use a synthetic oil during the run in. The rings need to have some friction to bed in otherwise you risk creating an oil burning low powered dog. Recapping the run in process....cheap mineral oil and take it for a thrash
