For that specific role there is JGDT Break In oil.
I mention this because if you just spent the $$$$$ to rebuild an M96 ,why would anyone worry about a few extra $ for what the experts say is the most suitable oil ?
I am all in favor of using Walmart oil - if it is just as good as JGDT -but how can you be certain?
Just imagine the Thread title: " My newly rebuilt M96 exploded - do you think it was the cheap oil I used ?"

Sorry I should have added more info, this was for a 1978 Toyota 2F Engine (interference )
