Nissan goes to very detailed efforts with new motors: all the internals are micropolished and moly coated. There is no "break in" actually happening with rings and journals and bearings, with the exception of the timing chain. My Used Oil Analysis of my truck proves this beyond a doubt. The Al, Fe and Cr would be higher that first UOA if there was "break-in" happening like what is conventionally told to us. So Drive it like you stole it from the start, because it is all good at mile 0. If you are interested you can see all of my Used Oil Analysis here. I have used Mobil1 5w-30 ever since mile 3947. And after 72K and 11 Oil Changes I have no leaks on the motor (I do have one from the M226 rear end, but that is another thread). Last Edited By: irkingu2 08/06/08 10:54 PM. Edited 1 times.
