Some argue that the moly is from lube that is used in assembling the engine and has not much to do with break-in per se.
The only thing we know for sure is that some manufacturers, like Honda, advise in the Owner's Manuals of their vehicles not to change the factory oil until the first service (usually 7,500 miles). My question is: Why? Is it because the factory oil is special in some way? Is it because the factory does not want some eager beaver new owner to swap in fully synthetic oil too early in the life of the engine?
