now a quick question to you would be.. what would be so bad about taking all the metal and crap out of your oil before it bonds to other parts?
See there is NO manufacturer that says change your oil in the first 100miles, but if you new two shits about breaking a motor in you would realize that about 90% of the break in of a new motor is done in the first 100miles. This means that most of the 'extra' crapy is pumped into your oil in the first 100miles of a 3000 miles oil. So you're telling me you want to drive 2900miles with metal shaving in your oil? And now the filter doesn't catch it once the gears mash it into a paste and thats when it bonds to parts reducing the space for oil to penrate. And over the life of the motor this 'extra' metal attached will be what gives you the greatest power lose.
How about you do your research before you come in here telling me how wrong I am. I would educate you on this but i really dont have the time search for motoman and read up on what this dude says about motors. Thanks for proving to me you dont know what your talking about, try google next time instead of going to honda.com.

I'll add you dont even have to follow his break in method but for god sakes take the oil out early and do your motor a favour.
