Hey Tigers,
I buy a new car every few years. It's been a long time since any required =
or even advised the old break-in period (fast starts, hard breaking, drivin=
g over a certain rpm, etc). The oil is infinitely better, and more importa=
ntly, the Japanese taught the American auto industry to get their machining=
tolerances down!
