Oil type is not so critical with just a valve job. The basics for the non-detergent oil is so that the rotating assy. Crank, rods, pistons get the inital workout (ie Crank/rod bearings will wear quickly until broke-in, the piston rings/cyl wall will have more friction until the rings seat again loosing metal along the way) The valve assy may be helped by using real oil in the case of the cam/lifters(or really followers) if you have a new cam installed. The valves and guides are linear bearings and do not see near as much load as piston rings, crank/rod bearings. It will not hurt to use real oil first but it is not really required IMHO.
