  I personally would choose a multi-grade major brand mineral oil. The Brad Penn 30 wt Break-in Oil is OK also, but be sure you do not use any synthetic oil for break-in. For what it's worth, the Brad Penn line claims ZDDP Enhanced, which may be beneficial for non-stock or undersize cam grinds on a flathead, but otherwise not a factor in a flathead motor oil decision.
