~4200 miles, no issues. I have seen as high as 230ish oil temp but upon checking the oil after cool down it is exactly where it needs to be. I drive it hard on occasion but not enough where it is abused, I also stored it outside for 8 months under multiple tarps. Only 1 oil change done thus far, I used Nissan Ester Oil, I know it's not required but why risk otherwise. I dynoed on a dynojet yesterday, I'm happy to report humbly that the motor seems healthy and strong. Not to add fuel to the "break in" argument, but I babied her for the first 1850 like the manual says, many ranges of revs and speeds didn't really hit redline a whole lot, maybe that helped...
