I never heard that? I changed mine yesterday at 1500 miles :biggrin:JZA80CANNONBALLR said:yeah i was told the first change is supposed to be done at 5k due to some special break in oil that is used...:xyxnervou
how does 'break in' oil have more contaminants? Not doubting you, just curiousDuce2k said:Some people prefer to do their first oil change at an earlier interval due to the break in oil having more contaminants, etc.
It's not the fact that it's break in oil, it's just that it's the engines first fill and all the wear metals and contaminants become trapped in this oil (in theory you want this gone). There is a constant debate on this site weather to keep it in or not for that reason.Leonard1818 said:how does 'break in' oil have more contaminants? Not doubting you, just curious
