It's not just hard break in I'm referring to , it's a very detailed method . The key being lots of engine braking and varied RPM's . Any full throttle while the engine is cold will cause lots of oil use and that's certainly not what I am saying . Track use is an entirely different animal , some oil usage in a high compression turbo motor is expected .
