Seb

The first engine never needed an oil change as it got replaced at 2900 miles, though you could argue that adding six quarts of oil might count as an oil change. Break in was boring by the book with the 4,000 rpm limit that could have gotten to 4500 via SRM, operator mistake, or dealer test drive (higher still?).

New engine is still under break in, with no SRM mistakes only a couple momentary 4200 rpm operator errors. Thus far, no oil added either.

It is so very difficult to not drive the car all out, as I did for weeks. Then go back to break in.
