Here's a little something to think about. Everything I've read about using break-in oil suggests a relatively short limit to using it. 500 miles, 700 miles, a thousand miles seem to be typical recommendations. Assuming that the manufacturers of break-in oil (or additives) know what they're talking about, why is it that so many new car engines recommend extended drain intervals for even the first change, and by extended I mean relative to what the makers of break-in oil suggest?Yes but that doesn't mean they don't pour in some proprietary additive to promote break-in.
