In the case of Nissan for the VQ, it is then refilled with Nissan Ester Oil. Why? Because this engine runs hot, period.

Here's a nice link, read it and stop the madness!

Stealth 316 - Engine Break-In

I just want to point out that I worked at a Toyota Manufacturing plant and as soon as the car is assembled, they do put it on a test bench and drive the car under load. They rev it up to something like 50-75% of redline a few times. And then they actually put it in reverse and rev it up under load as well. I dont know for sure but Id say probably 3500-4000, could be different depending on the car of course.
