Break in oil

[Spritle]

People’s view on things can change likes the weather. I was just a bit curious. Service interval’s recommended by the manufacture are not necessarily what is best for the longevity of a vehicle. But i will be sure to not post an oil question again. Seems to trigger some people.

Nah, post whatever questions you want. Some people get annoyed, but they'll get happy in the same pants they got mad in.

My first change was at 7K...Let the lashings begin.

I’m kind of curious of some owners look at their first oil change as the break in oil change to get the oil out after say 1000 miles.

I definitely do it with motorcycles.

I do. I don't think it's necessary at 1,000 miles. But I certainly DO NOT go 10,000 miles ever, especially for the very first one. Usually I dump the factory fill water oil at around 4,000ish and refill with quality oil of an appropriate viscosity for a V8 that works hard in a 5,600 lb. vehicle in 90 degree weather, and 0W20 ain't it.
