Message	conventional oil on cylinder walls during assembly. Fill oil, fill oil filter, start it up. In my case, I removed the plugs and the fuel filter fuse and cranked the engine to build oil pressure, but I don't think it would've done anything different if I had just started it right up. Been getting oil analysis done every other oil change, everything is in good shape.
