Oil consumption versus break-in procedue
I read various posts about break-in procedures with all types of opinions. The opinions were varied. I read about "drive it like you stole it" and also the owners who followed the recommended break-in procedure. Then there are some who drive easy for 100 and then progressivly drive harder working their way up to redline.
I also read about how some owners describe having to add oil and those who do not have to add any oil.
I am about half into my break-in procedure (1000 mi). My oil level is fine and I have not had to add any oil. I have kept my rpms below 4200. Is there a connection here? I am thinking that I may be one of the "few" who do not have oil burning engines.
I am wondering if the owners who pamper their cars at breakin find themselves using less or no oil compared to the owners who "wind up the rpms leaving the dealer"?
