[QUOTE="CV355, post: 15732964, member: 181885"] I ran non-detergent oil with zinc additive when I was breaking in my MP334 in 2009. Drove it around for a week, changed it, broke it in on the dyno, changed it again and it looked like honey. Since then... I've broken in 4 engines straight from dealerships. Each time, I asked if I could get an oil change in the first 100 miles of ownership. They all said "sure, but we do not recommend it." If you're going for all-out performance (some marginal, fractional advantage) and don't care about longevity, the recipe is run it hard, change it frequently. If you're going for longevity, however... Personal/anecdotal experience tells me that the entire mysterious nature of engine oil break-in procedure leads to a minuscule difference that is [B]FAR OUTWEIGHED[/B] by proper oil change intervals for the life of the motor.
