Engine Break-in

One of the myths surrounding synthetic oils is that new engines require a break-in period with conventional oil. The fact is, current engine manufacturing technology does not require this break-in period. As indicated by the decisions of the engineers who design the high-performance cars listed, including Acura RDX , Mobil 1 can be used starting the day you drive the car off the showroom floor.

but acura adds a break in additive to the first oil to help it out.

only CERTAIN models of acura and other cars can run fully synthetic right off the line
Some of those cars already have test track miles and dyno time as well!
Every 4RE gets a run on their very own race track before shipping!

Be reasonable- are you going to change the oil on your brand new car- or wait a bit before crawling under and spending cash on the good stuff?

And dont get me started on ~ free~ oil changes at dealer!!!!
