Any quality 2 stroke oil will work for break in. Fill the tank, start the motor ( without auger attached) let it idle and go out and rev it every 15-20 minutes and cycle the choke as you do. After the first gallon of gas go to 80-1 or 100-1 Amsoil Saber Pro, that can be ordered online through Amsoil.

 This is what Nils told me on mine

 First tank 50:1 then 75:1 or 100:1 mix Synthetic oil
 
89 or above octane
 
Run with out the auger shaft on at first. Prime the ball twice, full choke, then half choke then no choke. Open up full throttle cycling the choke back and forth. Lubricates the diaprham.

i went through the manual and it said to use 89 octane, so using premium 91 octane is ok?
