This is for the break-in period which is quite short and then the oil gets pitched out quickly. An expensive proposition. If the break-in is done properly then the oil never has a chance to break down. At this point the whole purpose is to get all the loose metal out, if any!


What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.
