I started with 3K and went upwards, with each grade it improved.
Remember to bed it in before running it... hold one wheel and apply power, starting with low power and alternating holding each wheel.
I changed the oil in mine after a couple of runs to inspect it and there was some light swarf from bedding in, best to get rid rater than having increased wear rate on gears.
Just keep an eye on outdrive wear as they are softer than the ball diff outdrives
The car will instantly accelerate faster and brake a lot harder, it does feel completely different at first and you will have to adapt a little when taking jumps so take it steady to start with!
Hope it works for you matey,

Many thanks, just the advice i was looking for. will bed it in, run it for a meeting as is, then strip it and try oil, maybe 4000 as a starter fom whats been said..... i am not a fan of to much steering and run near bald front tyres, so will be a new car to try almost i reckon lol.....
