a direct quote from HKE.

Quote:

Joe Gibbs BR30 change it after 100 miles and then again at 500. As far as break in method, get on it WOT as soon as you can ( as long as there's a safe tune on it ) to help seat the rings. That's about it

I did the same procedure that HKE recommended. Mine turned out fine. My buddy on the other hand used Mobil 1 from the day it started and his burns alot of oil. I would definitely do the Joe Gibbs BR oil. I've heard from several people that it is superior to all other break in oils.
