New 2024 GTI: Change Oil At 500 Miles?

[scrllock]

So you're saying the factory pays for gas to just break in your car when they trying to cut cost?

In all likelihood they pay for gas for a sample set of engines to make sure that the machining and assembly processes are working. No shot every single EA888 sees a loaded engine dyno.

Piston rings break in very quickly and we have modern roller rocker camshafts. IMO after the first 100 miles or less, the break-in process has more to do with your diff and trans than the engine.
