Not all engines are created equal........as I'm sure you know.Current VW Sportwagen. 102K/6 years and counting. Modded for >2x stock power. Tracked. First change at 7K after car sat a year on the lot. 180 psi compression all 4 cylinders. No oil consumption. It's really unnecessary for longevity but I get it makes people feel good so just say "It makes me feel good but I know it's unnecessary for long service life."..there, no more debatePeople always make it sound like you have to do this if you want to keep it a long time which is simply not true.
New Audi SQ8 - Break In Oil Change Or Let It Ride?
- Thread starter Wat_MPG
- Start date
So does mine beating the crap out of it at 100k and I did mine at 7k
Dollah bills y'all.......Funny watching YT now as I'm out of commission still with a bad back.. a bum..
The Car Care Nut just came on...the Toyota guy.
Selling the mandatory 1000 mile oil change..his words.
I have no problem with that...
So why doesn't Toyota offer that in their free scheduled maintenance plan if it's so important?
I already know the answers I will get here..
That early change is millions out of Toyota's pockets
Like I said ....... Very different engines.

I bet you that a UOA on that oil would have proven otherwise….
Not to mention the fact that the manufacture date of that car was Sept 94 and I bought it in Jan 96. The oil was already old, plus sitting on the lot for long periods of time and lots of cold starts and shut offs. There’s no way that I wasn’t going to spend $30 to put fresh oil in there. I would have been insane to have left it
All break in oils, UOAs, have wear metals through the roof........
Good luck finding a bunch of UOAs that state otherwise.......
It's wild.
Just… run it.
