Not Ranked

Anyone agree with this regarding a fresh motor? Fast N' Loud comes to mind when a Break-In oil wasn't used.

* Break-In oils rank between number 72 and number 129. But, if you omit the highest ranked Break-In oil which is far more capable than the other Break-In oils, the rest only rank between 103 and 129. So, if you are looking for outstanding wear protection during break-in, you will be disappointed with these oils. Because they are not formulated to prevent wear, they are formulated to allow the parts to quickly “wear in”, which is totally unnecessary. You cannot stop parts from wearing-in on their own, no matter what oil you run. And we’ve seen that for many years with factory filled synthetic 5W30 Mobil 1 (which is one of the top ranked oils regarding wear protection capability) in countless thousands of brand new vehicles, that always break-in just fine. That makes so-called break-in oils unnecessary.

... just sayin'
