I would just use a cheap gear oil, drive a few miles and drain it. If the oil still looks fresh, add your oil of choice. If it looks pretty well used or separated, repeat until the cheap oil looks fresh when you drain it.

I wish I knew about this before, I'm near 600 miles on a fresh rebuilt stage 2 and I haven't flushed yet running mt-90/MTL right now =[.

I bet ATF would be an awesome flush. Not sure if anyone has tried that though but I've been tempted.
