I think they do, or at least someone does. With some of the claims people make about how beneficial/harmful certain break in procedures are you'd be a fool not to funnel some of your millions of dollars of R&D into running this test, after all it's only a test that doesn't require a huge team of engineers, all it takes is a couple of interns over a summer with a couple engines and some automated loading and drive cycles.

If they did have the data what would they gain by publishing it? They will have spent millions of dollars and just handed the answer to the competitors.

But agree, we're all just small fish on this issue.
