This is especially important because you are "BREAKING-IN" the engine with heavy duty oils.
Most of the engine experts warned of the danger of breaking in the engine too easily and ending up with an engine that will always run slow (lose 2-10% power) whether it is from tight tolerances, inadequate ring seal or carbon buildup.
Interesting ! Do you mean {/or I wonder if } heavier duty oil is used from the factory :just for this reason ?? Ok, now Part 2 == this about ,' the engine experts warn of breaking in too easily !! Well, what do they expect older folks, most woman [ and guys too] to do : really jump on it
and as soon as they do some Policeman/woman will be in rear view mirror
! Then, they'll have some splaining to do !
