[QUOTE="Tico007, post: 24899, member: 7026"] Recently there have been a lot of complaints about failing engines in brand new vehicles. Mainly Hyundai and Toyota. The cause? Appears to be debris from either the casting of the block or other shards of metal from the assembly of the engine. Could that happen to GM? Sure could happen to any manufacturer. So for me, it doesn’t really matter if it has break in oil. Or if the oil is dexos certified. What matters is a clean start. I used to just change the oil normally. Not anymore now I’m going change the oil almost as soon as I get it. And do it myself just to see what’s coming out. And then do it again pretty soon after that. I would probably do two oil changes in the first 5K. Then go to the normal length whatever that is I’m not afraid of oil life monitors. [/QUOTE]
