Re: break in oil question

Type of oil and frequency of changes is an ongoing debate nomater who you ask. Everyone has their preferances but the most commonly agreed on synthetic brand is Mobil 1. As for the rest of your questions about break-in and when to switch brands and such..... I'm not sure of and someone else will have to help with that one.

I've been running Royal Purple in mine now for ~2000 miles. I like it.
