^Is that because it's thicker and to help with small metal shavings (probably not the best words)?

If you want a great break-in oil give the conventional Valvoline MaxLife a try, it is very high in moly count. Most manufacturers add moly to the factory-fill oil to aid in break-in.

I have also heard good things about maxlife for break in. Would be easy too since you are getting your oil changes done at Valvoline. I will be using rotalla 10-40W to break in my new engine on the talon.

Ok, cool. Next change should be in about a week so I'll ask for it.

Went to Valvoline for an oil change...

You trust guys making $6/hr with your rather expensive investment?

Fuck dude, do the oil changes yourself and you'll know everything is torqued right and the correct amount (and type) of oil was used.

How many times do I have to explain this? I live in a condo and the car lives in a parking ramp. I'm not going to impose on friends or drive 30+ miles each way to a relative's house just to change the oil.

I'd thought about dropping by RS but I'd imagine they're as busy as DB is this time of year and something like an oil change is probably a waste of their time even when slow.

Just because people don't make a lot at there jobs, doesn't mean one can't take pride in their work.

If you cant (or wont) do it yourself then at least take it someplace with competent employees.

You want slightly increased wear on a fresh engine so that the rings seat and everything else mates together nicely. Synthetic is too slippery and does not allow for this initial wear.
