Here's another reason why I think there's no such thing as break-in oil:
Years ago when I worked on VWs, we would tear an engine down and do a complete overhaul; new cam, main, rod bearings, rod bushings, hone the cylinders, new rings, etc. and after all of that we'd fill the crankcase up with the same oil that was used for normal oil changes. Also, I've never seen "break-in" oil in an auto parts store, either. I think it's like Bigfoot, a myth.
