It would be interesting to learn what other mfgs. have to say about this.

My owner's manual says " A new or reconditioned engine is filled with an initial operation oil in the factory or in a MERCEDES-BENZ service station. This oil is specially developed for the specific operating conditions during the first 1300 - 1600 km / 800 - 1000 miles."
