Please tell us how super special this factory oil is. And where is the evidence showing that changing it after 1000 miles is causing more wear than keeping it in. I'd really love to see facts.
And the oil filter is different too? Wow. Lol.

Not sure about the filter, or whether special oil is actually used in our cars. But break-in oils do exist, google it.
But I guess you could also argue that break-in oil is snake oil. Might as well disprove the differences that exist between oil grades while you're at it.
And you doubt the effectiveness of a filter vs a magnetic drain plug? How are tiny metal particles going to wreck your engine more than redlining in the first few miles?
One person argues that lawyers wrote the manual, thats why the 4k RPM break-in limit is written in there. So why would lawyers suggest you do an oil-change at 5,000 miles rather than sooner if doing it sooner is safer for the engine?
I'm not a professional mechanic, but I can't help but notice the contradictions in this discussion. It must all be a freaking conspiracy.
Whether or not lawyers had an influence on the manual, I know engineers definitely did. I'm patient enough to keep my car under 4k RPM for a little bit and follow directions, even if it only means giving the dealership one less reason to reject warranty work.
