So, as some know my truck has had converter failures and they are giving me a replacement engine due to EXCESSIVE oil consumption. Are these engines brand new? Service advisor tells me they are but I doubt it.
Anyways, I was looking for some advice on proper break in for an engine. So far I am going to install a magnetic drain plug, change the oil and filter after 25 miles and take a trip to Cali since I heard freeway driving is best for the break in since it is around the same rpm for an extended period of time.
Am I on the right track so far? I am still not sure whether or not to wait til 3k miles to change the oil again or do it sooner. What do you guy's think??
