Break-In Procedure
Driven Break-In Oil is formulated with 2800–3000 ppm ZDDP (zinc dialkyldithiophosphate) and low detergent content. This composition allows ZDDP to form a protective anti-wear film on critical surfaces without interference from detergents, which can reduce its effectiveness during initial wear-in.
Recommended Use:
-
Fill the engine with Driven Break-In Oil and run for approximately 30 minutes.
-
Drain the oil, replace the filter, and refill with fresh Break-In Oil to remove assembly lubricants and wear particles.
-
Operate the engine for up to 400 miles or equivalent dyno time.
-
Replace oil and filter again, refilling with your preferred Driven Racing Oil formulation for ongoing use.
