I'll be running the cheap advance stuff for about 100 miles once the motor is back in the car, then switching over to Royal Purple or Mobil-1 after a flush.

Is that a new engine or used? If new i would not put RP in till 3K miles at the earliest. And Definitely not earlier then 1500.

Almost every parts store has it, you just have to ask b/c most of the time they keep it behind the counter
