^^^ This.
This ia all great info Dave. Thanks. The only question I am left with now is that this guy says to NOT use Synthetic Oil until 1,500 miles. So knowing what you or gmd2003 knows, would you IMMEDIATELY have them drain the synthetic upon delivery and in that case, what oil would you run? Frankly, I am just sort of asking to ask. I will not likely drain the synthetic. I have not adhered to break-in on either my F10 or F12 M cars. I guess it is a good thing. I still don't have the answer to my question "what about from mile 21-1200?".
The stock oil is fine , our motors don't need less lubricity to break in
like a high strung, built old school bike motor . I would not rec using a non synthetic oil . Going by people's oil analysis our motors continue to break in at least up to 4-5 k miles . I would certainly continue to vary RPM's and engine break whenever possible at least until 1200 miles . And just bc you get a break in service at 1200 doesn't manically make a motor fully broken in . It's not time to do 7 consecutive launch controls lol.
