Default ZDZ Break in Oil

Mike: For the past few days, I have been looking for your recommended Pennzoil Air Cooled 2-cycle oil to break in
my ZDZ-80. I finally had a distributor in Baton Rouge, La tell me that they no longer make it.
Could you please recommend a substitute.

Thanks,
Bill

I thought that synthetics shouldn't be used during break-in because they were so 'slick' that the piston rings wouldn't properly seat. Is this true???

Typically break in will take a bit longer, but that is OK. We sell the Pennzoil at $3.25/pint.
