First, I know this is a HIGHLY debated topic and I apologize in advance.
My 2015 Rubicon is running great so far, only have 6 miles and 2 hours on it. So happy I didn’t get the Can-Am!
My dealer recommend I wait to about 1,500 miles before switching to full synthetic oil, but how should I run the engine during the break-in period? How long is the break-in period? There’s NOTHING in the manual that mentions a break-in procedure. Some say baby it while others say run it hard so the pistons seat themselves properly?
Also, which oil should I use up to 1,500 miles? When should I do my first oil change?
Read this VERY interesting article about why it should be broken in hard. I’m sure a lot of you have read it before:
