Default Re: Run in oil?

Call me old-fashioned, but I cannot think of any reason to run a new engine from zero to 15,000 km on the original oil. Not run in until 15,000 km? Seriously?

You might get away with it in the majority of cases (just watch that red-lining), but that's not the point. Do you want to take the risk? Preemptive maintenance is about reducing risks.
