Lots... use Diesel oil (has higher zinc content) then run engine up to about 2000 rpm for about 20 minutes, don't let it idle. (this gets oil moving over the cam lobes)
Important not to let it get hot (use a big fan in front of car).
If you hear anything that sounds wrong coming from engine, see leaks or if oil pressure goes way down -- Shut it OFF & resolve.
