Break-in period

Lake Speed Jr is amazing..
I agree. The 26 minute mark is where they discuss oil interval changes but the entire discussion is interesting and worth watching in my opinion because you get a better in-depth understanding of what is happening early on in the engine break in period. Toyota branded oil is Mobile 1 synthetic for anyone wondering. As a side note, I've been running 0w20 Mobile 1 synthetic in an Acura MDX with 270,000 miles on it with 10,000 mile oil intervals for the 230,000 miles i've owned it. It barely uses any oil between changes and purrs like a champ. I will be treating this 4 cylinder turbo charged engine differently with shorter intervals, mainly due to the turbo and wanting to extend it's life. It shouldn't be a huge deal to replace the turbo on these engines compared to the 6 cylinder twin turbos on the GX550 but I still want to increase the life expectancy of it.
