Oil question on sr20's

[One-Eighty SX]

Okie i noe that i havent asked a real technical question yet but i do have one now. When u get ur sr20s what weight of oil do u use and do use synthetic or either regular oil? Also i noe u would never take it to a oilchange shop cuz they'll jus screw up ur shiet anyways thinkings its a regular car. I jus want some imput from u sr20det guys

I was told to use regular 10w40 and cheap spark plugs for the first 500miles after the swap.  A lot of gunk and other crap come out.  After the 500miles, put in the good stuff, synthetic.  

P.S.  There was a post a while back saying that synthetic in the long run isn't great and wastes money.  I would go with the synthetic though.

Thanxs kanekz IMO i would do the same even though its does cost money. I would only want the best for my sr20 when i do get one. Also who changes the oil some oil shop or what?

Why would you pay someone to change your oil after you've done a motor swap? Anyone can do an oil change. It's the same thing on pretty much every car. The only difference is the filter placement.
