I bought my car with 491 miles on it. I have no idea what was done to it in those miles. My assumption is that it was flogged. I bought it in Connecticut and drove it home to Indiana the next day. I tried my best to follow the recommended break in procedure.
So what is my point? Well, I now have 8200 miles on the car and it doesn't use a drop of oil... Yet.
I believe in properly breaking in an engine and I will always follow the recommended procedure but I think it all comes down to luck.
