Proper Motor Break In

[94Pro-5.0]

I planned on running the motor with regular motor oil for only about an hour or less, then changing it to make sure I have no metallics

Then put in synthetic for about 500 miles, then change it again. Does this sound ok? should I run regular motor oil longer, not at all, or what?
